Description: Discovering the Subject in Renaissance England by Elizabeth Hanson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The struggle by one man to discover the secrets in anothers heart is central to early modern discourse. Elizabeth Hanson examines the records of state torture, plays by Shakespeare and Jonson, cony-catching pamphlets and Francis Bacons philosophical writing to demonstrate a reconceptualizing of the subject in both the political and philosophical sense of the term. Publisher Description When Hamlet complains that Guildenstern would pluck out the heart of [his] mystery, he imagines an encounter that recurs insistently in the discourses of early modern England. The struggle by one man to discover the secrets in anothers heart is rehearsed not only in plays but in legal records, correspondence, philosophical writing and contemporary social description. In this book Elizabeth Hanson argues that the construction of other people as objects of discovery signalled a reconceptualizing of the subject in both the political and philosophical sense of the term. She examines the records of state torture, plays by Shakespeare and Jonson, cony-catching pamphlets and Francis Bacons philosophical writing, to demonstrate that the subject was both under suspicion and empowered in this period. Her account revises earlier attempts to locate the emergence of modern subjectivity in the Renaissance, arguing for a more nuanced and localized understanding of the relationship with its medieval past. Author Biography Elizabeth Hanson is a historian of science and Director of Special Projects at The Rockefeller University. She is the author of "Achievements: A Century of Science for the Benefit of Humankind, 1901-2001."
