Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating lens into a time when media and popular culture were assuming the shapes we recognise today, solidifying journalism's role in society. It explores the origins of that relationship through the Athenian Oracle, a publication which existed from 1690 to 1720 and is considered the first periodical to both engage with and inform popular tastes. The book does this by presenting a selection of the Oracle's most memorable questions and answers across a wide range of categories including love, courtship, science, and religion, providing both a glimpse into the every day concerns of the period and the attitudes which surrounded them. Through these entries, the author shows how the Oracle provided a platform for intellectual and cultural exchange, and played a key role in the development of modern media and its impact on the Western world.
