This book documents the changing representation of subjectivity in Medieval and Early Modern English drama by intertextually exploring discourses of 'self-speaking', including soliloquy. Plays range from the Corpus Christi pageants to the Beaumont and Fletcher canon, with Shakespeare a recurrent focus and Hamlet, inevitably, the pivotal text.

'...this book challenges some of the paradigms of new historicist and cultural materialist critics as it builds a persuasive argument stressing continuities between subjectivities on medieval and early modern stages...Especially valuable for the innovative ways in which it traverses the ground between the medieval and early modern periods, this challenging work will be of interest to literary critics, cultural critics, and historians of the Middle Ages and Renaissance alike.' - Jonathan Baldo, Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England
