Abstract

The article discusses government control of publications in early modern England through censorship and propaganda, focusing on how books and reading became a political act during the time. Other topics include how British publications influenced public opinion on the Spanish Armada in 1588, information on the pamphlet "The Copie of a Letter sent out of England to Don Bernardin Mendoza" by English politician William Cecil, Lord Burghley, and the politicization of religious matters.
