Neptune to the Common-wealth of England (1652): the republican Britannia and the continuity of interests
In the seventeenth century, John Kerrigan reminds us, âmodels of empire did not always turn on monarchyâ. In this essay, I trace a vision of âNeptuneâs empireâ shared by royalists and republicans, binding English national interest to British overseas expansion. I take as my text a poem entitled âNeptune to the Common-wealth of Englandâ, prefixed to Marchamont Nedhamâs 1652 English translation of Mare Clausum (1635), John Seldenâs response to Mare Liberum (1609) by Hugo Grotius. This minor work is read alongside some equally obscure and more familiar texts in order to point up the ways in which it speaks to persistent cultural and political interests. I trace the afterlife of this verse, its critical reception and its unique status as a fragment that exemplifies the crossover between colonial republic and imperial monarchy at a crucial moment in British history, a moment that, with Brexit, remains resonant
