Shakespeare, Machiavelli, and Montaigne: Power and Subjectivity from Richard II to Hamlet
Grady, Hugh (, Professor of English, Arcadia University)

Hugh Grady argues that for Shakespeare subjectivity was a critical, negative mode of resistance to power - not, as many recent critics have asserted, its abettor.
