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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45283200172183,"sku":"9780333628997","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780333628997.webp?v=1769304349","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/self-speaking-in-medieval-and-early-modern-english-drama-subjectivity-discourse-and-the-stage-9780333628997","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
