'Nasty, Brutish and Short': Cheap Print and the Scholar of Early Modern England' Lecture by Angela McShane (V&A/RCA)

Thursday 6 November 2014

'Nasty, Brutish and Short': Cheap Print and the Scholar of Early Modern England' Lecture by Angela McShane (V&A/RCA) This talk follows the CREMS afternoon workshop 'Cheap Print and Popular Culture, 1550 -1750' and is open to all.

Cheap Print and Popular Culture, 1550-1750.

Thursday 6 November 2014

Peter Burke's influential term 'Popular Culture' has been the subject of much debate and criticism, but has recently resurfaced, often combined with (and replaced by) the concept of cheap print. Contributors to the workshop 'Cheap Print and Popular Culture' will think about the category of 'the popular' and what it means in relation to the development of the medium of print in the early modern period.
