Sixteenth-century English speakers understood identity in radically
different terms than ours. "The Interpersonal Idiom" explores the
ways early modern usage figures selves as a function of other
selves, particularly in the tropes of humoralism, visual
perception, and sexual constancy. Challenging the current critical
preoccupation with subjectivity, Selleck argues that Shakespeare,
Donne, and other early modern writers often emphatically resist
emerging conventions of subjective authority and cast selfhood
instead as the experience of others. Analyzing a diverse range of
texts -- from treatises on medicine, faculty psychology, and the
controversy over women to drama, poetry, and devotional literature
-- Selleck's study proposes a new theoretical understanding of
identity in early modern culture.
