Scott Oldenburg is an Associate Professor in the Department of English at Tulane University.

‘Highly recommended.’- J.D. Sharpe (Choice vol 52:08:2015) ‘Alien Albion not only tenders a thoughtful and engaging study of the various paradigms surrounding multicultural communities, but it also offers a timely and important contribution to studies of immigration in early modern literature.’- Ruben Espinosa (Renaissance Quarterly vol 69:01:2016) ‘Oldenburg presents a solid balance of primary and secondary historical sources in his overall analysis of English cultural adaptation to immigration, as well as engaging with relevant literary scholarship.’- Roger A. Ladd (Sixteenth Century Journal, vol 46:01:2016) ‘Alien Albion is a welcome and timely contribution, urging us to rethink the critical predominance of early modern nationhood.’- Madeline Bassnett (Renaissance and Reformation vol 38:03:2015)
