International Cultural and Intellectual Exchange in the Belle Époque
Herausgeber: Rayward, W. Boyd

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes the dynamics of the emerging networks of individuals, organizations, technologies and publications by which means information was exchanged across and through all kinds of borders and boundaries in this period. It extends the frame within which historical discourse about information can take place by bringing together scholars not only from different disciplines but also from different national and linguistic backgrounds. It will be of interest to scholars and students of information history and the emergence of the information society as well as to social and cultural historians concerned with the late 19th and early 20th century.
