This article responds to recent studies that have applied to early modern English literature the aims of the ‘new British history’, which seeks to bridge the divide between anglocentric and anglophobic approaches to Britain’s past. Critics have estab... Read More about An Empire of itself: Arthur as icon of an English Empire, 1509-1547.
