An international conference to explore the impact of print upon parliament and parliamentary affairs during the early modern period, with particular reference to the relations between parliament and the ‘public’. Papers will build upon historiographical interest in the ‘print revolution’ and the ‘public sphere’, as well as the working of parliament in the ‘world beyond Westminster’. Speakers will analyse the public perception of parliament, and the attitudes of the public towards its representatives; draw attention to the attempts made to gain access to parliament and to exploit the parliamenary process; and examine the attitude of parliament and its members to the public, not least through attitudes to secrecy, lobbying, and popular participation.
