Using both canonical and underappreciated texts, Alien Albion
argues that early modern England was far less unified and
xenophobic than literary critics have previously suggested.
Juxtaposing literary texts from the period with legal, religious,
and economic documents, Scott Oldenburg uncovers how immigrants to
England forged ties with their English hosts and how those
relationships were reflected in literature that imagined inclusive,
multicultural communities. Through discussions of civic pageantry,
the plays of dramatists including William Shakespeare, Thomas
Dekker, and Thomas Middleton, the poetry of Anne Dowriche, and the
prose of Thomas Deloney, Alien Albion challenges assumptions about
the origins of English national identity and the importance of
religious, class, and local identities in the early modern era.
