Though British history and identity in the early modern period are
intensively researched areas, the role of literature in the
construction of 'Britishness' is under-examined. English history of
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries often overlooks the
contribution of Ireland, Scotland and Wales to the formation of the
British state. Historians describe 'Britain' as a multiple kingdom,
with a long history of conflict. In this 2002 volume, a team of
leading Renaissance literary critics read a broad range of texts
from the period, including plays of Shakespeare, in light of
British history. Prominent historians respond to the issues raised
by the volume. This collection opened up a different kind of
literary history and has pressing relevance for discussions of
'Britishness'.
