Bio: Lorna Hutson (MA Hons, DPhil Oxon, FBA) is Merton Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford. She has taught at the University of California at Berkeley and the University of St Andrews. Her publications include a foundational study of Thomas Nashe (1989), The Usurer’s Daughter (1994), The Invention of Suspicion (2007), Circumstantial Shakespeare (2015) and the Oxford Handbook of English Law and Literature 1500-1700 (2017). She has won the Roland Bainton Prize twice (2008, 2018) and is currently at work on the book project England’s Insular Imagining.

Abstract: In the reign of Elizabeth I, the contested claims of English sovereignty over Scotland, based in the mythic ‘British’ history of Brutus and King Arthur, were replaced by a poetic and chorographic image of England itself as an island with no land border. How did this happen and what did it mean for relations between England and Scotland? This lecture will explore those questions, tracing changes and transformations through war propaganda, river poetry, chorography, antiquarianism and cartography, to offer some new ways of reading Spenser’s Faerie Queene (1596).
