[PU: Chicago ; London : The University of Chicago Press], XI, 367 p., ill. Original cloth with dust jacket. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Overall good and clean. - What have poems and maps, law books and plays, ecclesiastical polemics and narratives of overseas exploration to do with one another? By most accounts, very little. They belong to different genres and have been appropriated by scholars in different disciplines. But, as Richard Helgerson shows in this ambitious and wide-ranging study, all were part of an extraordinary sixteenth- and seventeenthcentury enterprise: the project of writing England. Though parliament severed the English church from Rome early in the sixteenth century and declared England an empire, signs of imperial stature were lacking. Spenser’s Faerie Queene, Coke’s Institutes of the Laws of England, Camden’s Britannia, Speed’s Theater of the Empire of Great Britain, Drayton’s Poly-Olbion, Hakluyt’s Principal Navigations of the English Nation, Shakespeare’s English history plays, and Hooker’s Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity were among the many works that responded to this need. In so doing, they laid the discursive foundation for both the nation-state and nationalist modernity. In this book, Helgerson asks how these diverse works relate to one another and the political order they purported to serve. The poets, lawyers, antiquaries, mapmakers, merchants, explorers, dramatists, and churchmen who wrote England strove to align themselves and their individual communities with the newly autonomous English state. But that effort necessarily set them at odds with other writers, other groups, and other interests— including the interests of the crown. Their books thus helped negotiate the difficult and, in England, never quite complete passage from dynasty to nation. Attentive at once to particularities of form and particularities of historical situation, Helgerson strongly evokes the multiple and deeply conflicted discursive invention of the nation-state, discovering behind the rhetoric of national uniformity and wholeness differences that remain an element of modern English culture and that have recurred in American and postcolonial nation-building. - Richard Helgerson is chair of the Department of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
