Hugh Grady

Shakespeare, Machiavelli, and Montaigne

Power and Subjectivity from Richard II to Hamlet

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The four plays of Shakespeare's Henriad and the slightly later Hamlet brilliantly explore interconnections between political power and interior subjectivity as productions of the newly emerging constellation we call modernity. 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.
