{"product_id":"shakespeare-the-reformation-and-the-roberta-kwan-9781474461955","title":"Shakespeare, the Reformation and the Interpreting Self","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe share with Shakespeare, it seems, the assumption that to be human is to be an interpreter of oneself, others and the world - seeking but not always arriving at understanding. \u003ci\u003eShakespeare, the Reformation and the Interpreting Self \u003c\/i\u003eexplores this perspective on human subjectivity. This study reads the complex, compelling representations of the self as an interpreter (and misinterpreter) of reality in Shakespeare's 'problem plays' alongside an intellectual history that links the culture-shaping theological hermeneutics of the playwright's day to the similarly influential philosophical hermeneutics of our times. What is it to be an interpreting self? This book's critical approach brings to the fore questions about the self's finitude, agency, motivations, self-knowledge and ethical relation to others, questions that were of great relevance in Shakespeare's England and which continue to resonate in our present-day dilemmas and debates about human experience and human being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roberta Kwan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474461956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474461955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Roberta Kwan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881060225279,"sku":"9781474461955","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fef15827-ec5b-46d0-9bae-98fcffc56cd9.jpg?v=1747970549","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeare-the-reformation-and-the-roberta-kwan-9781474461955","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
