By Brian C. Lockey
Early sleek Catholics, Royalists, and Cosmopolitans considers how the marginalized standpoint of 16th-century English Catholic exiles and 17th-century English royalist exiles helped to generate a sort of cosmopolitanism that used to be rooted in modern non secular and nationwide identities but in addition transcended these identities.
Author Brian C. Lockey argues that English discourses of nationhood have been in dialog with opposing 'cosmopolitan' views, one who sought to domesticate and maintain the rising English nationalism and imperialism and one other that challenged English nationhood from the viewpoint of these Englishmen who seen the dominion as one province in the better transnational Christian commonwealth.
Lockey illustrates how the latter cosmopolitan viewpoint, produced inside of groups of exiled English matters, separated in time by way of part a century, inspired fiction writers akin to Sir Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, Anthony Munday, Sir John Harington, John Milton, and Aphra Behn. eventually, he exhibits that early smooth cosmopolitans critiqued the rising discourse of English nationhood from a standard spiritual and political standpoint, whilst their writings ultimately gave upward thrust to later secular Enlightenment different types of cosmopolitanism.

Moreover, his attempt to form an alliance with Basilius, the sovereign of Arcadia, has no religious component; rather he seeks to ally Macedonia with Arcadia based on regional solidarity, a common Greek identity, and the fact that both sovereigns find themselves in similar situations. Sidney’s own approach to political engagement overseas shows that he himself sought to emulate a similar strategy.
