Against All England examines a diverse set of poems, plays, and chronicles produced in Cheshire and its vicinity from the 1190s to the 1650s that collectively argue for the localization of British literary history. These works, including very early monastic writing emanating from St. Werburghs Abbey, the Chester Whitsun plays, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, seventeenthcentury ceremonials, and various Stanley romances, share in the creation and revision of Englands cultural tradition, demonstrating a vested interest in the intersection of landscape, language, and politics. Barretts book grounds itself in Cestrian evidence in order to offer scholars a new, dynamic model of cultural topography, one that acknowledges the complex interlacing of regional and national identities within the longue dure extending from the postConquest period to the Restoration. Covering nearly five centuries of literary production within a single geographical location, the book challenges still dominant chronologies of literary history that emphasize cultural rupture and view the Renaissance as a sharp break from Englands medieval past.
