Abstract

© 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.The Introduction offers a way into the special issue, laying out its underlying principle that early modern political texts were often designed to be experienced rather than just read and that owing to this their stylistic and material elements often contributed to their overall aims and arguments. The Introduction demonstrates this by reference to several case studies: Jean-Paul Marat’s The Chains of Slavery; the writings of the seventeenth-century republican Henry Neville; and the vast dissemination project of Thomas Hollis. The Introduction also provides information on the activities of the AHRC-funded network out of which this special issue has emerged and offers an overview of the papers delivered by the network contributors which serves to set the articles presented here in a broader context.
