Christopher St German (c.1460–1540/41), a legal theorist and Reformation controversialist, has traditionally been of interest to historians and legal scholars. However, in recent years an increasing number of literary scholars – especially those interested in Reformation politics and the intersection of law and literature – have become intrigued by his writings. And these writings continue to grow. For centuries, many of the 16 works attributed to St German by John Bale in 1559 were considered lost, and St German was deemed ‘that most annoying of creatures, a prolific author who published anonymously’ (Rex 2008). But the researches of J. A. Guy (1985) and Richard Rex (2008) have considerably expanded the St German canon, and his oeuvre is being reappraised.

Mythologies of the Prophet Muhammad in Early Modern English Culture

The figure of 'Mahomet' was widely known in early modern England. A grotesque version of the Prophet Muhammad, Mahomet was a product of vilification, caricature and misinformation placed at the centre of Christian conceptions of Islam. In Mythologies of the Prophet Muhammad in Early Modern English Culture Matthew Dimmock draws on an eclectic range of early modern sources - literary, historical, visual - to explore the nature and use of Mahomet in a period bounded by the beginnings of print and the early Enlightenment. This fabricated figure and his spurious biography were endlessly recycled, but also challenged and vindicated, and the tales the English told about him offer new perspectives on their sense of the world - its geographies and religions, near and far - and their place within it. This book explores the role played by Mahomet in the making of Englishness, and reflects on what this might reveal about England's present circumstances.
