    Summary note
    "A study of the challenges posed to an emerging English nationalism that stemmed from the powerful appeal exerted by the leaders of the international Protestant cause. By considering a range of texts, including poetry, plays, pamphlets, and religious writing, the study reads this heroic tradition as a 'connected literary history', a project shared by Protestants throughout northern Europe, which opened up both collaboration among writers from these different regions and new possibilities for communal identification"-- Provided by publisher.
