Description: Collinson investigates the rising role of English, of England's God-centredness before focusing on the role of Elizabethans as citizens rather than mere subjects. It responds to a demand for a history which is no less social than political and investigates what it meant to be a citizen of England, living through the 1570s and 1580s.
