This book documents the changing representation of subjectivity in
Medieval and Early Modern English drama by intertextually exploring
discourses of 'self-speaking', including soliloquy. Pre-modern
ideas about language are combined with recent models of subject
formation, especially Lacan's, to theorize and analyze the stage
'self' as a variable linguistic construct. Both the approach itself
and the conclusions it generates significantly diverge from the
standard New Historicist/Cultural Materialist narrative of
subjectivity. Plays range from the Corpus Christi pageants to the
Beaumont and Fletcher canon, with Shakespeare a recurrent focus and
Hamlet, inevitably, the pivotal text.
