{"product_id":"9780333628997","title":"Self-Speaking in Medieval and Early Modern English Drama: Subjectivity, Discourse and the Stage","description":"This book documents the changing representation of subjectivity in Medieval and Early Modern English drama by intertextually exploring discourses of 'self-speaking', including soliloquy. Pre-modern ideas about language are combined with recent models of subject formation, especially Lacan's, to theorize and analyze the stage 'self' as a variable linguistic construct. Both the approach itself and the conclusions it generates significantly diverge from the standard New Historicist\/Cultural Materialist narrative of subjectivity. Plays range from the Corpus Christi pageants to the Beaumont and Fletcher canon, with Shakespeare a recurrent focus and Hamlet, inevitably, the pivotal text.","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010751316208,"sku":"9780333628997","price":151.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780333628997_p0.jpg?v=1763684732","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780333628997","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
