In the early modern springtime of regular news production and consumption, what was the news? Where did it come from? Where did it go? Years of News surveys the world of early modern news, in script and print, in a variety of languages, from a unique vantage point: namely, the news productivity across Europe in a series of carefully chosen years. Contributors, applying a wide variety of innovative approaches and methodologies to original material from archives and libraries far and wide, have explored the stories and the tellers, the networks and the vectors, the effects and reactions. Diving deeply into the data without losing sight of the wider perspective, they seek to illustrate the relation between event and narration, and between narration and impact, while conveying the flavor of the times as experienced by the actors through the medium of news.
