This study reads the complex, compelling representations of the self as an interpreter (and misinterpreter) of reality in Shakespeare's 'problem plays' alongside an intellectual history that links the culture-shaping theological hermeneutics of the playwright's day to the similarly influential philosophical hermeneutics of our times. What is it to be an interpreting self? This book's critical approach brings to the fore questions about the self's finitude, agency, motivations, self-knowledge and ethical relation to others, questions that were of great relevance in Shakespeare's England and which continue to resonate in our present-day dilemmas and debates about human experience and human being.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45299173458071,"sku":"9781474461955","price":2490.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781474461955.webp?v=1769285179","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/shakespeare-the-reformation-and-the-interpreting-self-9781474461955","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
