Through case studies from diverse fields of cultural studies, this collection examines how different constructions and concepts of identity were mediated in England in the long eighteenth century. Central to the project is consideration of the ways historically specific categories of identity, determined by class, gender, nationality, political factions and age, are negotiated through and interact with the media available at the time, including novels, newspapers, trial reports, images and the theatre.
