  Examines a diverse set of poems, plays, and chronicles produced in Cheshire and its vicinity from the 1190s to the 1650s that argue for the localization of British literary history. This title challenges chronologies of literary history that emphasize cultural rupture and view the 'Renaissance' as a sharp break from England's medieval past.
