However, it is noteworthy that the analysis of newspapers and journals in most historical studies of the political media in modern Britain has been quite limited. The dominance of the London political press and Punch in academic discourse seems to stem primarily from their convenient availability to modern scholars rather than their widespread distribution and popularity. Consequently, historians have paid relatively little attention to the British regional press. This collection seeks to rectify this imbalance by examining the evolution, maturation, and persistence of the provincial political press in the British Isles during the modern era. To ensure a comprehensive geographical representation, chapters covering the political press in Ireland, Yorkshire, Wales, Scotland, and the Midlands have been included. These chapters delve into previously overlooked aspects of print culture, political literacy, and reading practices across these regions in the late eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries, providing an introduction to research in this rapidly growing field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 476g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 156 x 230 x 23 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781788744300                            \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: New ed                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44101122916602,"sku":"9781788744300","price":44.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/cacb5dc428a15b257b99335a446a5506.jpg?v=1628307481","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/print-politics-and-the-provincial-press-in-modern-britain","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
