In particular, studies have asserted the impact that the Revolution had on abolitionist debates and perceptions of race, particularly in America and Britain. This thesis builds on this scholarship by exploring how the early Haitian state and its first leaders were represented in American and British discourses following Haiti’s Declaration of Independence in 1804. While studies have already highlighted how Haiti’s attempts to establish its political sovereignty were severely hampered by American and British reactions to the prospect of black political leadership, this study suggests that race was only one factor in these transatlantic receptions. Indeed, Haitian leaders in the first twenty years of its independence became key reference points in American and British discussions of the foundations of political legitimacy.

The Britons in Late Antiquity: Power, Identity And
THE BRITONS IN LATE ANTIQUITY: POWER, IDENTITY AND ETHNICITY EDWIN R. HUSTWIT Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bangor University 2014 Summary This study focuses on the creation of both British ethnic or ‘national’ identity and Brittonic regional/dynastic identities in the Roman and early medieval periods. It is divided into two interrelated sections which deal with a broad range of textual and archaeological evidence. Its starting point is an examination of Roman views of the inhabitants of the island of Britain and how ethnographic images were created in order to define the population of Britain as 1 barbarians who required the civilising influence of imperial conquest. The discussion here seeks to elucidate, as far as possible, the extent to which the Britons were incorporated into the provincial framework and subsequently ordered and defined themselves as an imperial people. This first section culminates with discussion of Gildas’s De Excidio Britanniae. It seeks to illuminate how Gildas attempted to create a new identity for his contemporaries which, though to a certain extent based on the foundations of Roman-period Britishness, situated his gens uniquely amongst the peoples of late antique Europe as God’s familia. The second section of the thesis examines the creation of regional and dynastic identities and the emergence of kingship amongst the Britons in the late and immediately post-Roman periods. It is largely concerned to show how interaction with the Roman state played a key role in the creation of early kingships in northern and western Britain. The argument stresses that while there were claims of continuity in group identities in the late antique period, the socio-political units which emerged in the fifth and sixth centuries were new entities.

T Was in the Year 1887 That Mr. Arthur J
THE RICHBOROUGH COIN INSCRIBED "DOMINO CENSAURIO CES." BY ALFRED ANSCOMBE, F.R.HIST.S. THE SO-CALLED " COIN OF A SECOND CARAUSIUS, CAESAR IN BRITAIN IN THE FIFTH CENTURY." T was in the year 1887 that Mr. Arthur J. Evans, M.A. (now Sir Arthur), published1 a very learned and in- teresting paper on a bronze coin which was found at Richborough in Kent, on the site of the Roman fortress called Rutupiae, or Rutupium. The obverse of the coin presents a head modelled in a somewhat barbarous fashion on that of a fourth-century Emperor, diademed, and with the bust draped in the -paludamentum, or military robe of a Roman general. The reverse presents a familiar bronze type of Constans, or perhaps of Constantius II. For these and other well-considered reasons Sir Arthur Evans then assigned the coin to the first half of the fifth century, and quite correctly ; but he mistakenly ascribed it to A.D. 409. He also suggested that the CO/XTA of the inscription on the reverse should be identified with the Constantine who was ruling in Britain in that year. But this British Emperor who is known as Constantine the Third, and who had won imperial status in Britain, Gaul, and Spain in A.D. 407, had made his own son, Constans, Csesar in A.D. 408. Consequently Sir Arthur Evans's claim to have discovered another British Caesar, during the same reign, who was named Carausius but is otherwise quite unknown, must be regarded as inadmissible. Moreover, no historical testimony has ever been adduced in support of this assumption.

The British monarchy on screen oving images of the British monarchy, in fact and fiction, are almost as M old as the moving image itself, dating back to an 1895 dramatic vignette, The Execution of Mary Queen of Scots. Led by Queen Victoria, British monarchs themselves appeared in the new ‘animated photography’ from 1896. Half a The British century later, the 1953 coronation of Elizabeth II was a milestone in the adoption of television, watched by 20 million Britons and 100 million North Americans. At the century’s end, Princess Diana’s funeral was viewed by 2.5 billion worldwide. monarchy Historians have argued that the power of the image has bolstered the British monarchy as its political power has waned, but media scholars have been slow to examine how that power has been secured by royal self-promotion, entrepreneurial on screen deference, narrative sympathy, reportorial discretion and spectacular exhibition. In the first book-length examination of film and television representations of this enduring institution, distinguished scholars of media and political history analyse the screen representations of royalty from Henry VIII to ‘William and Kate’. Among their concerns are the commercial value of royal representations, the convergence of the monarch and the movie star, and the historical use of the moving image to maintain the Crown’s legitimacy. Seventeen essays by international commentators examine the portrayal of royalty in the ‘actuality’ picture, the early extended feature, amateur cinema, Edited by Mandy Merck the movie melodrama, the Commonwealth documentary, New Queer Cinema, TV current affairs, the big screen ceremonial and the post-historical boxed set.

Pan-Protestant Heroism in Early Modern England
PAN-PROTESTANT HEROISM IN EARLY MODERN ENGLAND Kevin Chovanec A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Caronlina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Reid Barbour David Baker Ruth von Bernuth Mary Floyd Wilson Jessica Wolfe ©2016 Kevin Chovanec ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Chovanec, “Pan-Protestant Heroism in Early Modern England” (Under the Direction of Reid Barbour) “Pan-Protestant Heroism in Early Modern England” explores transnational religious identifications in England by tracing the written response to and construction of Protestant heroes of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, among them, Willem and Maurits van Oranje, Henry Stuart, Friedrich V, and Gustavus Adolphus. Intervening in the critical conversation on early modern nation-writing and the construction of Englishness, I argue that continental figures like these profoundly shaped English identity in the early modern period. While most historians believe that nationalism and indeed the nation are constructs of a later period, Richard Helgerson, Claire McEachern, and others have posited the sixteenth century as a key moment in the construction of England. Yet this research, and even more recent multinational approaches that consider how foreigners shaped English identity, focuses too heavily on ethnic alterity and neglects the ways in which religious communion provided alternate possible identities. I argue that the transnational lens of pan-Protestant heroism uncovers literary communities and collaboration generally obscured by our nationalized conception of literature. Heroic figures attracted literary responses – in poems lionizing their accomplishments, theorizing their roles in God’s church, and eventually mourning their deaths – responses that spanned across political and linguistic borders.
