Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Using a combination of anthropological and psychoanalytic methods, Farrell relates the fantasies of ""play-death"" to the Renaissance belief that through self-effacement an individual may achieve autonomy in the family and society. Farrell develops a wide-ranging analysis of cultural responses to the human dread of death and makes Shakespeare's art a lens that brings into unusually sharp focus Renaissance social structure, gender relations, ideology, and religion.
