Patriotism, Power and Print: National Consciousness in Tudor England

The nature of English patriotism during the 16th century, its modes of cultural expression, and its use in political and religious propaganda are here investigated by Brennan (history, St. Helens College, Merseyside). She considers such aspects as patriotism and the state, the educated elite and the vernacular, Tudor governments and minority languages, and patriotism in Elizabethan drama.
