Writing and Constructing the Self in Great Britain in the Long Eighteenth Century Pevná vazba
This volume explores the various ways the 'self' was perceived, fashioned and written in the course of the long eighteenth century in Great Britain. The studies explore the interface between literature and philosophy, and include discussion of philosophers and thinkers such as Locke, Shaftesbury, Mandeville, Hutcheson and Hume; churchmen such as Isaac Barrow and John Tillotson; the novelists Eliza Following a chronological narrative which highlights the problematic and intriguing nature of what we call the 'self' across time and from different perspectives, this book illustrates the diversity of vision, and the abiding unity of the subject, while foregrounding the emergence of a recognisably modern, individualistic, 'sustainable' self.This collection assembles contributions from both established and emerging researchers from Britain, Europe and the United States.
