Hugh Grady

Shakespeare, Machiavelli, and Montaigne

Power and Subjectivity from Richard II to Hamlet

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Hugh Grady argues that for Shakespeare subjectivity was a critical, negative mode of resistance to power--not, as many recent critics have asserted, its abettor.
