The essay looks at three sentimental states of the British nation: First, it considers representations of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997 and of a ‘nation in mourning’. Second, the anniversary of her death in 2017 allows for a discussion of the temporality of the sentimental and related concepts such as nostalgia. Third, it discusses Shakespeare’s Richard II in the first Quarto of The Tragedie of King Richard the Second (1597) in relation to Diana, as a proto-sentimental hero(ine).
