The subject of Britain analyses key seventeenth-century texts by
Bacon, Jonson and Shakespeare within the context of the English
reign of King James VI and I, whose desire to create a united
Britain prompted serious reflection on questions of nationhood.
This book traces writing on Britain and Britishness in succession
literature, panegyric, Union tracts and treatises, play-texts and
atlases. Focusing on texts printed in London and Edinburgh, as well
as manuscript material that circulated within and across Britain
and Ireland, this book sheds valuable light on texts in relation to
the wider geopolitical context that informed their production.
Combining literary criticism with political analysis and book
history, The subject of Britain offers a fresh approach to a
significant moment in British history, and will appeal to
postgraduates and undergraduates of early modern British literary
history. -- .
