商品簡介
Keen (Carlton U., Ottawa, Canada) has done a tremendous job of annotating and introducing the journals that have been reproduced here, page by page, in what is mainly a clearly readable facsimile (the deterioration of some pages is evident). Keen provides a general introduction to the set and introductions (of 5-7 pp.) to each of the journals that follow. Twelve journals are reproduced in their entirety, including: The Medusa, or Penny Politician ; The theological comet , The London Alfred , The democratic recorder , Hone's reformists' register , The Gorgon , The Gracchus , and The cup of liberty . Notably, Keen provides a complete index, with names, places, and subjects, making this a valuable resource for scholars and students of early 19th-century political and social history.
