My project explores the ways in which various seventeenth-century subjects responded to the emergence of a multi-national British state. My work is informed by the new British historiography, a plural political history that has paved the way for literary historians to glean valuable new perspectives on literary and extra-literary texts in light of the wider British context that informed, indeed enabled, their production. In pursuit of these rich possibilities, my project focuses on a range of cultural texts and artifacts devoted to Britain and Britishness produced between 1603 and 1660, a crucial period of cultural interaction in the British Isles. |
