This book connects changing seventeenth-century English views of maternal nurture to the rise of the modern nation. It argues that competing early modern figurations of the nurturing mother mediate in politically implicated ways between customary biblical models of English kingship and innovative Hebraic /Puritan paradigms of Englishness.
