In my own field of study, I see Elizabethan authors such as Smythe and Silver seeming to argue in favor of 'native' or 'ancestral' 'English' methods of fighting - the longbow and sword and buckler, for instance. Did this sentiment reflect a rising English nationalism or sense of 'English-ness'? I know about of the popular reputation of the History Plays of Shakespeare as nationalistic, and some of the pop history around Elizabeth, but to what extent is that reality and to what extent is that an anachronism?
