This book explores how literary texts envision England and respond
to discourses and conceptions of Englishness and the English
nation, especially in relation to gender and language. The essays
discuss texts from the fifteenth to the twentieth century and bear
witness to changing views of England and the English, highlighting
the importance of religion, economy, landscape, the spectre of the
"other" and language in this discourse. The volume pays attention
to women writers' reflection on the nation and the roles female
figures play in male writers' visions of nationhood. It brings into
conversation less well-known voices like those of Osbern Bokenham,
Thomas Deloney, Eleanor Davies and Jacquetta Hawkes with canonical
authors-William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Jane Austen and
Virginia Woolf-and opens a space for exploring the interplay of
dominant and variant voices in the fashioning of England.
