With contributions from leading cultural practitioners and scholars, this book contemplates the influence of New Elizabethanism from the Coronation festivities to the reinternment of Richard III in 2015, from the ascent of Everest on the eve of the Coronation to the investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales, from the institutionalization of the National Theatre to the Olympics of 2012. In so doing, it exposes the significance of an overlooked cultural nationalism that continues to dominate contemporary constructions of modern national identity, history and performance.International library of twentieth century history ;90.National characteristics, EnglishNew ElizabethanismSocial & cultural historyGreat BritainCivilization1945-Great BritainHistoryElizabeth II, 1952-Great BritainSocial life and customs1945-National characteristics, English.New Elizabethanism.941.085Gossedge RobMorra Irene1975-YDXCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910150330603321The new Elizabethan age2958997UNINA
