Explores Shakespeare’s history and Roman plays to find the raw materials of English national consciousness and identity. The book argues that Shakespeare’s histories furnished modern England with a curriculum for constructing a national identity, a confidence of language and culture, and a new medium to communicate this negotiated identity.
