Nicholas Breton and the English Self

Nicholas Breton (1545/55-1626?) was one of the most prolific writers of the Early Modern period and left behind a vast �uvre that is, however, largely neglected today.Breton addresses instrumental questions of his time, especially those of man�s identity. This study concentrates on a selection of Breton�s political texts in which Breton contrasts the Self against the Other. These texts not only stigmatise the Other as the undesired, the unknown and the indecipherable, but also construct a patriotic and uniform English identity to be imitated by all Englishmen and Englishwomen: the English Self.Nicholas Breton and the English Self 1st Edition is written by Conny Loder and published by Peter Lang Gmb H, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.
