The economic, social, religious, and political issues that arose from interBritish contact and Continental immigration into England are reinvented and rehearsed on the public stage. Kermode uncovers two broad ‘alien stages’ in the drama: distinctive but overlapping processes by which the alien was used to posit ideas and ideals of Englishness. Many studies of English national identity pit Englishness against the alien ‘other’ so that the native self and the alien settle into antithetical positions. In contrast, Aliens and Englishness reads a body of plays that represents Englishness as a state of ideological, invented superiority – paradoxically stable in its constant changeability, and brought into being by incorporating and eventually even celebrating, rather than rejecting, the alien.  \nlloyd edward kermode is Associate Professor in the Department of English, California State University, Long Beach.
