Inspired by debates among political scientists over the strength
and depth of the pre-modern roots of nationalism, this study
attempts to gauge the status of ethnic identities in an era whose
dominant loyalties and modes of political argument were
confessional, institutional and juridical. Colin Kidd's point of
departure is the widely shared orthodox belief that the whole world
had been peopled by the offspring of Noah. In addition, Kidd probes
inconsistencies in national myths of origin and ancient
constitutional claims, and considers points of contact which
existed in the early modern era between ethnic identities which are
now viewed as antithetical, including those of Celts and Saxons. He
also argues that Gothicism qualified the notorious Francophobia of
eighteenth-century Britons. A wide-ranging example of the new
British history, this study draws upon evidence from England,
Scotland, Ireland and America, while remaining alert to European
comparisons and influences.
