Reshaping New Spain: Government and Private Interests in the Colonial Bureaucracy, 1531–1550

section surveys Hollywood’s portrayal of Tudor England. After revisiting depictions of the French Revolution at the outset of her final section, Melman concludes with an analysis of the Elizabethan Revival at the time of the 1953 coronation, with the opera of Benjamin Britten and the work of historians such as A. L. Rowse taking center stage. This book is an original contribution to the burgeoning scholarly literature on how the English have made use of their history. It argues, very convincingly and from an impressive range of sources, that the English had many different ways of exploiting their history. It adds significantly to work by John Burrow (A Liberal Descent: Victorian Historians and the English Past [1981]) and Stefan Collini (English Pasts: Essays in History and Culture [1999]) and will be of great interest to both a specialist audience and a broader general readership.
