Studies of the republican legacy have proliferated in recent years,
always to argue for a polity that cultivates the virtues,
protections, and entitlements which foster the self's ability to
simulate an invulnerable existence. James Kuzner's original new
study of writing by Spenser, Shakespeare, Marvell and Milton is the
first to present a genealogy for the modern self in which its
republican origins can be understood far more radically. In doing
so, the study is also the first to draw radical and republican
thought into sustained conversation, and to locate a republic for
which vulnerability is, unexpectedly, as much what community has to
offer as it is what community guards against. At a time when the
drive to safeguard citizens has gathered enough momentum to justify
almost any state action, Open Subjects questions whether
vulnerability is the evil we so often believe it to be. Key
features: * First study to explore how early modern republican and
contemporary radical thought connect with and complement each other
* Traces the presence of English republicanism from the late
sixteenth century to the late seventeenth * Analyses Renaissance
literary texts in the context of classical, early modern, and
contemporary political thought to add to how we think about
selfhood in the present * Offers illuminating new readings of the
place that English Renaissance figures occupy in histories of
friendship, the public sphere, and selfhood more generally
