Inhoud:

This ambitious and interdisciplinary study traces development of the idea of Britain as an island nation, state and then empire from 1500 to 1800, through literature, philosophy, history, geography and travel writing. It examines changing geographical languages in early modern British politics, in an imperial, European and global context.
