Word and Self Estranged in English Texts, 1550-1660 - Semler, L.E.

All of the essays in this collection investigate and extrapolate understandings of the strange. In presenting contrasts and analogies between diverse kinds of estrangement, the volume reveals an interplay of thematic and stylistic discourses that sheds new light on the place of word and self in English Renaissance writings, and offers a vital reinterpretation of early modern texts.
