The True-Born Englishman: A Satire

Daniel Defoe

Beschreibung

In "The True-Born Englishman: A Satire," Daniel Defoe masterfully employs a sharp and witty prose style to critique the complexities of national identity in early 18th-century England. Through a blend of humor and serious commentary, Defoe addresses themes of multiculturalism and the idea of what it truly means to be "English." The poem's satirical tone serves to expose the absurdities of nativism, while its rhythmic verse and clever wordplay engage the reader in an exploration of racial and cultural hybridity that challenges contemporary norms and prejudices. Set against a backdrop of political turmoil and the emergence of a burgeoning British identity, this work resonates with the Enlightenment's ideals of reason and critical inquiry. Daniel Defoe, an innovative writer and early journalist, was significantly influenced by the socio-political climate of his time, haunted by the legacy of his dissenting background and a life marked by both hardship and resilience. His experiences navigating the turbulent waters of political exile and social criticism shaped his perspectives on identity, making him a compelling voice in the discussion of national belonging. This work reflects Defoe's enduring belief in the importance of inclusivity and understanding in an ever-diversifying society. "The True-Born Englishman" is a must-read for those interested in early modern literature, cultural studies, and the evolution of English identity. Defoe's incisive wit and acute social observations offer readers a thought-provoking lens through which to examine notions of nationalism and belonging, making this satirical masterpiece relevant to contemporary discussions on identity and multiculturalism.

The British Isles 1100–1500 -...

Sir Rees Davies

Academic writing in Britain and Ireland has tended to treat the histories of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales as discrete subjects of study. This approach is understandable but it does lead to the creation of artificial boundaries within the historical study of the British Isles and, in particular, overlooks the often close links between the different countries and societies within these islands. Equally, it inhibits the opportunity to compare and contrast the countries and societies and explain where and why their paths have diverged or merged. This book is a pioneering attempt to show how the historical understanding of the period 1100–1500 may be enriched by adopting a ‘British Isles’ approach.  Some of the chapters approach general issues such as political structures, aristocracies, law and literacy; others focus on more particular problems both between the countries and within them.
