Book looks unread, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Minor external signs of gentle handling. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book explores how representations of combat in early modern English literature reflect broader questions of selfhood, masculinity, honour, and national identity. Focusing on texts from the 16th and 17th centuries, Feather examines how writers used the imagery and narratives of armed combat to define personal and collective identities. Through her analysis of chivalric and martial rhetoric in literature, Feather shows how combat was not only a literal physical encounter but also a metaphor for intellectual, moral, and social struggles. The book argues that combat became a site for negotiating ideals of heroism, masculinity, and civic duty. It explores how figures such as knights and soldiers were constructed in literature to model ideal Englishmen in a period of national and imperial expansion. Feather examines key texts, from Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene to the works of Shakespeare, to reveal how the depiction of battle was closely tied to concepts of personal honour and the relationship between individual and nation. This scholarly work provides a deep dive into the interplay between literature, warfare, and identity in early modern England, making it a valuable resource for scholars of literature, history, and cultural studies. -- Contents: Introduction: The Pen and the Sword; Heroic Anatomies; "A Sharper Reproof to These Degenerate Effeminate Days"; "Lo, Ye All Englishmen"; Astraea Returned to Heaven; Conclusion: "Hunt Honour, and not Nations with Your Swords"; Notes; Bibliography; Index -- "By examining these competing depictions of combat that coexist in sixteenth-century texts ranging from Arthurian romance to early modern medical texts, this study reveals both the importance of combat in understanding the humanist subject and the contours of the previously neglected pre-modern subject.".
