During the early modern period the public postal systems became central pillars of the emerging public sphere. Despite the importance of the post in the transformation of communication, commerce and culture, little has been known about the functioning of the post or how it affected the lives of its users and their societies. In Postal culture in Europe, 1500-1800, Jay (-apian provides the first historical and cultural analysis of the practical conditions of letter-exchange at the dawn of the modern age.
Jay Caplan is Professor of French at Amherst College, and his primary areas of research encompass literary theory, literary history, and eighteenth-century French literature and culture.
Caplan opens his analysis bv exploring the economic, political, social and existential interests that were invested in the postal service, and traces the history of the three main European postal systems of the era, the Thurn and Taxis, the French Royal Post and the British Post Office. He then explores how the post worked, from the folding and sealing of letters to their collection, sorting, and transportation. Beyond providing service to the general public, these systems also furnished early modern states with substantial revenue and effective surveillance tools in the form of the Black Cabinets or Black Chambers. Caplan explains how postal services highlighted the tension between state power and the emerging concept of the free individual, with rights to private communication outside the public sphere. Postal svstems therefore affected how letter writers and readers conceived and expressed themselves as individuals, which the author demonstrates through an examination of the correspondence of Voltaire and Rousseau, not mereiv as texts hut as communicative acts.
In this book ¡av Caplan provides readers with both a comprehensive overview of the changes wrought bv the newlv public postal svstem, and a thought-provoking account of the expectations that have led to our culture of instant communication.
