The texts listed below represent only a very small sample of early modern engagements with national identity, historiography, and sovereignty. However, these seventeenth-century national histories have a particularly high concentration of the phenomena that Making Room in History <\/em>is designed to examine and so they are useful in testing and refining the project’s encoding. In the future, I will extend the both genres and the temporal scope of encoded texts; increasing the representation of texts authored by women will\u00a0be a high priority.<\/p>\n TEI P5<\/a> transcriptions of these texts were made available through the public release of Phase I<\/a> of the EEBO-TCP<\/a>\u00a0partnership; links below are to the Oxford Text Archive<\/a> web editions.\u00a0Making Room in History\u00a0<\/em>is profoundly indebted to EEBO-TCP for their generosity in sharing the Phase I transcriptions and making projects like this one possible.<\/p>\n John Clapham’s The Historie of Great Britannie<\/a>, <\/em>published in\u00a0London\u00a0in\u00a01606<\/p>\n John Speed’s The History of Great Britaine<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>published in London in\u00a0<\/em>1611<\/p>\n Samuel Daniel’s The Collection of the Historie of England<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>published in London in\u00a01618<\/p>\n William Slatyer’s\u00a0The History of Great Britanie<\/a><\/em>, published in London in 1621<\/p>\n James Ware’s\u00a0Two Histories of Ireland<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>published in\u00a0Dublin in 1633 and collecting:<\/p>\n Richard Baker’s\u00a0A Chronicle of the Kings of England<\/a>, <\/em>published in London in\u00a01643<\/p>\n John Prise’s\u00a0A Description of Wales<\/a>, <\/em>edited by Humphrey Lloyd and published in Oxford\u00a0in\u00a01663<\/p>\n Margaret Cavendish’s\u00a0The Life of the Thrice Noble, High, and Puissant Prince William Cavendishe<\/a><\/em>, published in London in 1667<\/p>\n John Milton’s\u00a0The History of Britain<\/a>, <\/em>published in London in\u00a0<\/em>1670<\/p>\n Aylett Sammes’s\u00a0Britannia Antiqua Illustrata<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>published in London in 1676<\/p>\n Richard Cox’s\u00a0Hibernia Anglicana: Or the History of Ireland from the Conquest Thereof by the English to this Present Time<\/a>, <\/em>published in\u00a0London in 1689<\/p>\n William Temple’s\u00a0An Introduction to the History of England<\/a>, <\/em>published in London in\u00a01695<\/p>\nInitial\u00a0Texts for Test Encoding<\/h1>\n
