  A great cultural revolution struck Europe in the 18th century with the arrival of the public sphere. Public opinion in the form of new cultural institutions such as the newspaper, the novel, and the coffee house threw down the gauntlet to established regimes. This book explores the interaction of politics and culture during Old Regime Europe.
