"What one sees in Unspeakable Subjects is Jacques Lezra's uniquely personal conjugation of theoretical interests with the resisting pressures of history, literary history, and philology. I find no convenient label to describe his brand of reading, but I strongly suspect that he will be one of the critics who redefines and rehistoricizes literary theory in the coming decades. Lezra is, to my mind, one of the most gifted intellects of his generation of literary scholars."--Mary Malcolm Gaylord, Harvard University "The range of Lezra's admirable work is immense, but so is the historical scholarsh...

Context is never lost from view; apparent anachronisms turn out to afford brilliant reflections on the complicated temporality of reading. Unspeakable Subjects does not seek to understand, not does it seek a licence for the contemporary critic to say whatever he/she pleases. It asks what has become of Shakespeare, Cervantes, and Descartes in our hands, and it shows, in devastating detail and often with considerable wit, how much of us was already in the texts of those early writers."--Michael Wood, Straut Professor of English, Princeton University
