Claire McEachern quote

National sentiment is a form of intimacy. Nations urge connections between past and present, between members of a group and between people and the state. ...the texts that write them also collapse the distance between political identities and the countours of the self.
Claire McEachern, The Poetics of English Nationhood, 1590-1612
