How are nations invented and notions of national identity imagined? This course will explore the cultural, political and technological strategies whereby an identity called Englishness and a nation called England came to be forged on an island amidst a mosaic of ethnic communities speaking different languages and subject to waves of conquest. We will study how this notion of Englishness became a powerful force in attempts to colonize the British Isles (Ireland, Wales, Scotland) and beyond.
