Examines the late 16th- and early 17th-century engagement with a crucial part of Britain's past, the period between the withdrawal of the Roman legions and the Norman Conquest. Considers how ideas about early modern English and British national, religious, and political identities were rooted in pre-Conquest cultural constructions.
This book examines the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century engagement with a crucial part of Britain's past, the period between the withdrawal of the Roman legions and the Norman Conquest. A number of early modern plays suggest an underlying continuity, an essential English identity linked to the land and impervious to change. This book considers the extent to which ideas about early modern English and British national, religious, and political identities were rooted in cultural constructions of the pre-Conquest past.
