Should we assume that people who lived some time ago were quite
similar to us or should we assume that they need to be thought of
as alien beings with whom we have little in common? This specially
commissioned collection explores this important issue through an
analysis of the lives and work of a number of significant early
modern writers. Shakespeare is analysed in a number of essays as
authors ask whether we can learn anything about his life from
reading the Sonnets and Hamlet. Other essays explore the first
substantial autobiography in English, that of the musician and
poet, Thomas Wythorne (1528-96); the representation of the self in
Holbein's great painting, The Ambassadors; whether we have a window
into men's and women's souls when we read their intimate personal
correspondence; and whether modern studies that wish to recapture
the intentions and inner thoughts of early modern people who left
writings behind are valuable aids to interpreting the past. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Textual
Practice.
