Lee Manion

Lee Manion (Grad ’08) published his second book, The Recognition of Sovereignty: Politics of Empire in Early Anglo-Scottish Literature, with Cambridge University Press. Situating medieval and early modern Scotland and England in a broader imperial context, the book shows how established discourse prevented more equitable political unions. Combining formal analysis with empire studies, international relations theory, and political history, Manion reveals the significant consequences of literary writing for political thought. Manion is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Missouri.
