This study presents various perspectives from which Breton investigates man: from the perspective of the imago Dei-debate, from the perspective of human nature and from the perspective of man’s identity – his English, Christian, social and political identity.
Nicholas Breton (1545/55-1626?) was one of the most prolific writers of the Early Modern period and left behind a vast uvre that is, however, largely neglected today. Breton addresses instrumental questions of his time, especially those of mans identity. This study concentrates on a selection of Bretons political texts in which Breton contrasts the Self against the Other. These texts not only stigmatise the Other as the undesired, the unknown and the indecipherable, but also construct a patriotic and uniform English identity to be imitated by all Englishmen and Englishwomen: the English Self.
