Description: In this collaborative book Carole Levin and John Watkins offer a rich and varied concoction. Levin is a historian, and Watkins a literary scholar, but they set out to cross each other's territories and indeed to make as little as possible of the boundary between them. Their broad topic is Shakespeare's part in forming an English national identity at a time when the idea of an essential Englishness was just emerging. The authors focus on three plays from the last part of the sixteenth century, the first of the Henry VI plays, The Merchant of Venice, and The Taming of the Shrew.
