'This England' is a celebration of 'Englishness' in the sixteenth
century, explores the growing conviction of 'Englishness' through
the rapidly developing English language; the reinforcement of
cultural nationalism as a result of the Protestant Reformation; the
national and international situation of England at a time of acute
national catastrophe; and of Queen Elizabeth 1, the last of her
line, remaining unmarried, refusing to even discuss the succession
to her throne. Introducing students of the period to an aspect of
history largely neglected in the current vogue for histories of the
Tudors, Collinson investigates the rising role of English, of
England's God-centredness, before focusing on the role of
Elizabethans as citizens rather than mere subjects. It responds to
a demand for a history which is no less social than political,
investigates what it meant to be a citizen of England, living
through the 1570's and 1580's. -- .
