Download or read book Narcissism and Suicide in Shakespeare and his Contemporaries written by Eric Langley and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-11-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subjects of this book are the subjects whose subjects are themselves. Narcissus so himself himself forsook, And died to kiss his shadow in the brook. In accusing the introspective Adonis of narcissistic self-absorption, Shakespeare's Venus employs a geminative construction - 'himself himself' - that provides a keynote for this study of Renaissance reflexive subjectivity. Through close analysis of a number of Shakespearean texts - including Venus and Adonis, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, and Othello - his book illustrates how radical self-reflection is expressed on the Renaissance page and stage, and how representations of the two seemingly extreme figures of the narcissist and self-slaughterer are indicative of early-modern attitudes to introspection. Encompassing a broad range of philosophical, theological, poetic, and dramatic texts, this study examines period descriptions of the early-modern subject characterised by the rhetoric of reciprocation and reflection. The narcissist and the self-slaughter provide models of dialogic but self-destructive identity where private interiority is articulated in terms of self-response, but where this geminative isolation is understood as self-defeating, both selfish and suicidal. The study includes work on Renaissance revisions of Ovid, classical attitudes to suicide, the rhetoric of friendship literature, discussion of early-modern optic theory, and an extended discussion of narcissism in the epyllia tradition. Sustained textual analysis offers new readings of major Shakespearean texts, allowing familiar works of literature to be seen from the unusual and anti-social perspectives of their narcissistic and suicidal protagonists.

Download or read book Ovid in English 1480 1625 Part One Metamorphoses written by Sarah Annes Brown and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a range of celebrated and less familiar translations of Ovid’s Metamorphoses produced in English between 1480 and 1625, beginning with the story of Narcissus from Caxton’s manuscript translation of the Metamorphoses and ending with George Sandys’s version of Callisto’s tale. The volume as a whole reflects the complex (and shifting) variety of Ovid’s early modern reception. These poems, some of them republished here for the first time, help extend and enrich our understanding of Ovid’s influence on early modern literature. All texts have been fully modernised and annotated, rendering them accessible to students and general readers as well as scholars of the period.
Download or read book Bibliography and Index of English Verse Printed 1476 1558 written by William A. Ringler and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1988 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two works in one volume (1476-1500 and 1501-1558), each includes a bibliography of books containing English verse printed in the period, showing place and date of printing, location of copy and microfilm, reprints, and the number of poems in the volume. A first-line index of poems printed (not composed) in the period include title, author, date of composition, volume containing it, length, verse form, genre and subject. Further indices are by refrain, verse form, poet, translation, and subject. Perhaps only a scholar confident enough to divide the subject indices into "historical," "religious," and "fictional" would be clever enough to know which one to consult first.
