England's Insular Imagining

Beschreibung

England's Insular Imagining is vital reading for anyone interested in British nationhood. It shows how the English used Geoffrey of Monmouth's mythical 'British History' (1137) first to justify an attempted Scottish conquest, then to make Scotland's nationhood vanish in new literary, legal and cartographic figurations of English sea-sovereignty.
