      abstract = {"Periodicals were an essential medium during  eighteenth-century Enlightenment. The era's growing number  of newspapers and journals made possible a fast and vast  dissemination of ideas and debates. Journals were a  particularly important means of transmitting ideas, genres,  texts, and pieces of information from country to country,  from centre to periphery, and from press to subscribers.  These journals became agents of change by mediating the  increasingly profound and widespread urge to write and read  and to engage in political debate. This volume, edited by  Ellen Krefting, Aina N©ıding and Mona Ringvej, presents  contributions that explore this media revolution from a  Northern perspective. The chapters throw new light on the  reception of Enlightenment ideas and practices in  Denmark-Norway, Sweden-Finland, and beyond. Taken together,  they make a strong case for the transnational and  revolutionary character of the Enlightenment as a whole"--},
