Transculturalisms, 1400-1700.
Summary Original and thought-provoking, this collection sheds new light on an important yet understudied feature of seventeenth-century England's political and cultural landscape: exile. It considers exile both as physical displacement from England-to France, Germany, the Low Countries and America-and as inner, mental withdrawal. The essays assembled here demonstrate, among other things, both the shared and highly individual experiences in exile of figures conspicuously diverse in political and religious allegiance.
