Alcuni aspetti della percezione dell'Inghilterra e del popolo inglese.

Ever since its beginning, media has had a great impact upon society. The first newspapers date far back in time to distant China, to the year 911. In Europe, the first newspaper was issued in Anvers in 1605 and from that moment on the newspapers and journals would bring their contribution to the education of their readers, to disseminating information and culture, to forging and later on to manipulating public opinion. The press developed in Southeastern Europe especially during the 19th century, when the emerging nations need it in order to enlighten their people and determine them to fight for their independence. In the three Romanian Provinces the intellectual elite would approach different topics and examples from the life and history of other nations, thus stirring the Romanians to fight for their emancipation and liberty. This paper makes an analysis of the image of the English and of England in the collective mentality of the Romanians, as it appears in various newspapers and journals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
