Theatre and empire: Great Britain on the London stages under James VI and IManchester University Press, 30 d’abr. 2018 - 224 pàgines Theatre and empire looks at the genesis of British national identity in the reign of King James VI and I.

It does this by studying two things: the political language of the King's project to replace England, Scotland and Wales with a single kingdom of Great Britain; and cultural representations of empire on the public and private stages. |
