Patrick Collinson was one of Britain's foremost early modern
historians. This volume collects together a number of his most
interesting and least easily accessible essays with a thoughtful
introduction written specifically for this book. This England is a
celebration of 'Englishness' in the sixteenth century. It 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 I, 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, and investigates
what it meant to be a citizen of early modern England, living
through the 1570s and 1580s. -- .
