Theatre and empire Great Britain on the London stages under James VI and I
Tristan Marshall (Author)
This book looks at the genesis of British national identity in the reign of King James I and VI. 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. -- .
