About this book
In an era marked by shifting perceptions of national identity, "The True-Born Englishman: A Satire" by Daniel Defoe boldly confronts the notion of "true-birth" and the myth of English nobility. Through sharp wit and incisive commentary, Defoe reveals that the English people are a tapestry woven from diverse origins, challenging the rigid classifications of race and heritage. This poem serves as a powerful critique of the era’s obsession with lineage, emphasizing the absurdity of claiming purity in a nation built on a mosaic of cultures. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work invites readers to reflect on the complexities of identity and belonging. Explore the nuances of Englishness with Defoe's masterful satire, a timeless exploration of national character.
