"What was published in Naples during the Spanish Vicerealm ? How did books, pamphlets, broadsheets and newspapers contribute to the political awareness of the Neapolitan people ? To what extent did the authorities engage with this politically-charged literary world ? This book aims to answer these questions by discussing an untapped body of sources, in manuscript and printed form. What emerges is a vivid picture of a vibrant printing industry and a rich cultural landscape. Three moments of crisis of the seventeenth century - the eruption of Vesuvius, Masaniello's revolt and a major plague epidemic - are used as a test of the capability of the Spanish authorities in regards to political and propagandistic communication" 4e de couverture
