Andrew Escobedo is Associate Professor of English at Ohio University.

In Nationalism and Historical Loss in Renaissance England, Andrew Escobedo sets out to supplement the question 'where is the nation?' (much discussed by recent studies confronting the geographic oddness of English/British national identity) with the equally important question 'when is the nation?'.... The twin impact of the break with Rome and the emergence of a more skeptical historiography left sixteenth-century Englishmen with a less secure history than their medieval predecessors.... Escobedo's account of their efforts is stimulating in part because it challenges easy assumptions.(Times Literary Supplement) In this innovative and highly rewarding book, Escobedo argues that the emergence of English nationalism during the Renaissance was irrevocably tied to Tudor fears that the history of the nation's origins was lost and/or that its present was incommensurate with or alienated from its past.(Choice)
