Joad Raymond Wren
Praise for The Great Exchange: Making the News in Early Modern Europe
Highly ambitious and impressive … here is a book that anyone and everyone interested in early-modern Europe will enjoy reading, and from which they will learn a huge amount
Noel Malcolm, Times Literary Supplement
Utopian is the ambition to write a history of news, that most quicksilver of commodities, and Raymond Wren has knowingly attempted the impossible ... The Great Exchange must be counted a triumphant success
Daniel Johnson, The Critic
Capacious in structure, monumental in volume … Raymond Wren is a recovering academic, expert in the field of bibliography … and he was always going to be obliged by temperament to burst free of its limitations
Minoo Dinshaw, Spectator
