Benhamou, Paul. “The Periodical Press in the Encyclopédie.” The French Review, vol. 59, no. 3, American Association of Teachers of French, 1986, pp. 410–17. JSTOR, https://www.jstor.org/stable/392669.

 

In his article, Benhamou concentrates

on the portrayal of the press in

the Encyclopédie as well as roles of

French periodicals in the 18th century.

After spending a brief moment laying

down the history of the French press,

he digs into the message that the

articles send about the press, citing

numerous examples and authors that

seem to demonstrate that the press was

not favored. Benhamou mentions that

the Encyclopedists, as promoters of

freedom of the press, were actually not

entirely supportive of other journals

and periodicals, critiquing their

intrusion into literature and attacking

writers and readers alike and he

provides multiple instances of the

periodical press shined in a negative

light.
