From the Back Cover
"In Shakespeare's Foreign Worlds, Carole Levin and John Watkins move beyond current debates about the status of early modern studies vis-à-vis historicism to offer an original and much-needed book that truly brings together the fields of literature and history. Most notably, the authors significantly expand the discussion of early modern nationalism and, in doing so, offer thoughtful, incisive, and self-aware criticism of a set of Shakespearean texts."-Rebecca Lemon, University of Southern California, author of Treason by Words: Literature, Law, and Rebellion in Shakespeare's England
