Sherwood (English emeritus, U. of Victoria, Canada) jumps into debates about whether the self was fragmented by political, religious, social and economic forces in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. He rejects such a radical interpretation, asserting that in fact the self was relatively stable despite the churning around it, and that common acceptance of Protestantism and Christian civic humanism in support of the public good maintained a distinct equilibrium. To gather evidence he analyzes key works by Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, Jonson and Milton, locating in each indications that Protestantism was a vocation and Christian civic humanism was inveterate, whosoever had convinced himself he ruled England at the time.
