Beskrivning
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.

‘Highly recommended.’- J.D. Sharpe (Choice vol 52:08:2015) ‘Alien Albion not only tenders a thoughtful and engaging study of the various paradigms surrounding multicultural communities, but it also offers a timely and important contribution to studies of immigration in early modern literature.’- Ruben Espinosa (Renaissance Quarterly vol 69:01:2016) ‘Oldenburg presents a solid balance of primary and secondary historical sources in his overall analysis of English cultural adaptation to immigration, as well as engaging with relevant literary scholarship.’- Roger A. Ladd (Sixteenth Century Journal, vol 46:01:2016) ‘Alien Albion is a welcome and timely contribution, urging us to rethink the critical predominance of early modern nationhood.’- Madeline Bassnett (Renaissance and Reformation vol 38:03:2015)
