It demonstrates how changes in the dominant medium of communication were an important enabler of the cultural development that allowed for the growth of political dissent. Virginia?s traditional culture of deference was gradually replaced by a?culture of dissidence? and from that emerged the first constitutional right for press freedom in the Virginia Declaration of Rights. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 18th century|2fast 648 7 1700 - 1799|2fast 650 0 Press|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85106500 |zVirginia|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79022909 -781|xHistory|y18th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002006124 650 0 Printing|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85106751|xPolitical aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005651|zVirginia|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79022909-781|xHistory|y18th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006124 650 0 Freedom of the press|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85051711|zVirginia|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79022909-781|xHistory|y18th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006124 650 7 Press.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1075837 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Printing|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1426339 650 7 Printing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1076612 650 7 Freedom of the press.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 934063 651 7 Virginia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204597 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMellen, Roger P.|tOrigins of a free press in prerevolutionary Virginia.|dLewiston, N.Y. : Edwin Mellen Press, ©2009|z9780773438774|w(DLC) 2009033813|w(OCoLC)430056926 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=461549|zOnline eBook.
