Shakespeare, Machiavelli, and Montaigne: Power and Subjectivity from Richard II to Hamlet

Framsida
Oxford University Press, 2002 - 286 sidor

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.
