This tenth volume of the Print Networks series contains eleven original contributions by scholars working on
periodicals and newspapers in the British Isles, outside London. The essays focus on the period between 1740 and
1914, including some case studies of individual publishers and their experiences in the print market. This volume
demonstrates the cultural and political significance of newspapers and periodicals and their producers. A key
theme emerging from the essays is the range of relationships between producers and consumers of print who lived
and worked in the provinces and their connections with London. Examination of the question of "provinciality"
sheds considerable new light on the connections between book trade people in all parts of the British Isles. [Order
