This volume contains primary materials and introductory essays on
the historical, critical and theoretical study of "national
literature", focusing on the years 1550 - 1850 and the impact of
ideas of nationhood from this period on contemporary literature and
culture. The book is helpfully divided into three comprehensive
parts. Part One contains a selection of primary materials from
various English-speaking nations, written between the early modern
and the early Victorian eras. These include political essays,
poetry, religious writing, and literary theory by major authors and
thinkers ranging from Edmund Spenser, Anne Bradstreet and David
Hume to Adam Kidd and Peter Du Ponceau. Parts Two and Three contain
critical essays by leading scholars in the field: Part Two
introduces and contextualizes the primary material and Part Three
brings the discussion up-to-date by discussing its impact on
contemporary issues such as canon-formation and globalization. The
volume is prefaced by an extensive introduction to and overview of
recent studies in nationalism, the history and debates of
nationalism through major literary periods and discussion of why
the question of nationhood is important. Reading the Nation in
English is a comprehensive resource, offering coherent, accessible
readings on the ideologies, discourses and practices of nationhood.
