Description
Stephen Greenblatt's seminal work on Renaissance self-fashioning explores the emergence of modern self-consciousness in 16th-century society. Through a series of insightful readings, Greenblatt demonstrates how identity is constructed in the works of prominent Renaissance writers, including Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Spenser.
This influential literary criticism, which laid the foundations for the New Historicist school of thought, remains a crucial text for readers of Renaissance literature. Greenblatt's analysis offers a nuanced understanding of how cultural and political contexts shape individual identity, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students alike.
First published in 2018, this paperback edition provides a concise and thought-provoking exploration of a pivotal moment in literary history.
