Between 1550 and 1850, the great age of mercantilism, the English
people remade themselves from a disparate group of individuals and
localities divided by feudal loyalties, dialects and even
languages, into an imperial power. Examining literature, art and
social life, and returning to ground first explored by Raymond
Williams in his seminal work, The Country and the City Revisited
traces this transformation. It shows that what Williams figured as
an urban-rural dichotomy can now be more satisfactorily grasped as
a permeable boundary. While the movement of sugar, tobacco and tea
became ever more deeply interfused with the movement of people,
through migration and the slave trade, these commodities initiated
new conceptions of space, time and identity. Spanning the
traditional periods of the Renaissance and Romanticism, this
collection of essays offers exciting interdisciplinary perspectives
on central issues of early modern English history.
