Early modern England owed a deep historical, lexical and cultural
debt to France. Despite this debt, England was anxious to assert
itself amid the new and unstable climate of the Reformation, the
Renaissance, the book trade, the growth of commerce and the
development of the early modern nation. In order to do so, England
pursued a series of conflicting advancements: to learn French, to
study Anglo-French history, and to glorify England. Shakespeare and
the French Borders of English emerges from an interdisciplinary
conversation about the theory of translation and the role of
foreign language in fiction and society. By analyzing Shakespeare's
treatment of France, Saenger interrogates the cognitive borders of
England - a border that was more dependent on languages and ideas
than it was on governments and shorelines.
