Description

This scholarly study examines the figure of the bastard within early modern England's evolving concepts of national identity and state representation. Far beyond a simple narrative device, illegitimacy emerges as a fundamental trope shaping how identity was constructed and represented in sixteenth and early seventeenth century prose and drama. Through detailed textual analysis of plays and prose works, the book reveals the complex semiotics of bastardy and its relationship to concepts of Englishness during a formative period of national consciousness. Readers will gain new insight into how early modern writers used the figure of the illegitimate child to explore questions of belonging, legitimacy and national belonging, whilst reflecting contemporary concerns about social order and familial structures.

Key Features

Examines bastardy as a vital component in the construction of British national identity during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.

Provides close readings of plays and prose texts to analyse the semiotics of illegitimacy and its representation in early modern England.

Explores analogies between the family and the state to understand how illegitimacy functioned in broader political and social contexts.

Offers scholarly insight into how early modern writers used bastard figures to address questions of legitimacy and national belonging.
