1st edition. Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture series No.13. "Claire McEachern argues for the role of Reformation religious culture in shaping Tudor-Stuart nationhood and examines its presence in the writings of Spenser, Shakespeare and Drayton.McEachern shows how different kinds of language, whether literary, exegetical or parliamentary personify power, thereby sealing the intimacy which binds the nation as an imagined community.By focusing on the rhetorical forms of cultural unity in Reformation England, McEachern traces a profound shift from a monarchically defined Englishness to a system based within the cultural institution of the common law." Pp.xii/239.10 figure illustrations. Blue boards, dustwrapper has minor shelf wear. VG/VG.
