Notes
- "In this volume, a team of leading Renaissance literary critics read a broad range of texts from the period, including the plays of Shakespeare, in light of the new British history. Prominent historians respond to the issues raised by the volume. This collection opens up a new kind of literary history and has pressing relevance for discussions of ‘Britishness’ today. This volume should interest all literary and political historians working on the British identities and Renaissance literature."–BOOK JACKET
