Macat Library: Stephen Greenblatt's Renaissance Self-Fashioning

More about the book

What is a self? Greenblatt argues that the 16th century saw the awakening of 'modern' self-consciousness, the ability to 'fashion' an identity out of the culture and politics of one's society. In a series of brilliant readings, Greenblatt shows how identity is constructed in the work of Shakespeare, Marlowe, Spenser and other Renaissance writers. A classic piece of literary criticism, and the origins of the New Historicist school of thought, Renaissance Self-Fashioning remains a critical and challenging text for readers of Renaissance literature.
