Description: Writing the Nation in Reformation England is a unique study of a neglected period of English writing. It places mid-Tudor literature (1530-1580) within the context of important debates about English nationhood, the nature of the English Reformation and English humanism, the growth of the political nation, and how Renaissance writers constructed authorial identities in manuscript and print.
