À propos de cette écoute

 Delve into the intriguing world of Londons street literature with this collection of historical broadsides. As the precursors to modern tabloid journalism, these short, popular publications offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, brimming with sensational tales of crime, romance, the Royal Family, and politics. Notably, the collection also includes gallows literature, confessions and verses linked to individuals condemned to public execution. These pieces, often sold at the site of the execution, provide a stark and compelling insight into societys past. The prominence of printers names on each broadside, while authors remain nameless, underscores the significant role of the printer in that era. This collection, curated and summarised by kathrinee, serves as a poignant reminder of the evolution of print media.
