About this book

The Interpersonal Idiom offers a timely reformulation of identity in the age of Shakespeare, recovering a rich and now obsolete language that casts selfhood not as subjective experience but as the experience of others.

Reviews

'Selleck's well-researched, elegantly written, and theoretically sophisticated argument offers a timely reformulation of the self/other dyad in early modern literature and culture. By insisting on the ways the self is objectified in, for, and by the other, Selleck challenges the notion of autonomous selfhood that, even when under erasure in post-structuralist critique, pervades current usages of the term. This is an exciting thesis one that has the potential to remap the terrain not only of early modern but also postmodern accounts of the self.' - Jonathan Gil Harris, George Washington University.
