Thesis abstract:
My research is about the seventeenth century English Diggers, focusing on the
dimension that identity formations, through disputes in representations amidst the
seventeenth century public sphere, had inside their political strategy.In order to do so, I analyse how the Diggers represented themselves in their pamphlets and broadsides, as well as the way newsbooks and other radical pamphlets (such as Levellers and Ranters) characterised them. In doing so, I am able to visualise how radical politics and public sphere were very much entangled in such context, as well as understand how symbolic disputes were a part of the British Civil War conflicts.
