Challenging a long-standing trend that sees the Renaissance as the
end of communal identity and constitutive group affiliation, author
Joshua Phillips explores the perseverance of such affiliation
throughout Tudor culture. Focusing on prose fiction from Malory's
Morte Darthur through the works of Sir Philip Sidney and Thomas
Nashe, this study explores the concept of collective agency and the
extensive impact it had on English Renaissance culture. In contrast
to studies devoted to the myth of early modern individuation,
English Fictions of Communal Identity, 1485-1603 pays special
attention to primary communities-monastic orders, printing house
concerns, literary circles, and neighborhoods-that continued to
generate a collective sense of identity. Ultimately, Phillips
offers a new way of theorizing the relation between collaboration
and identity. In terms of literary history, this study elucidates a
significant aspect of novelistic discourse, even as it accounts for
the institutional disregard of often brilliant works of early
modern fiction.
