Narcissism and Suicide in Shakespeare and his Contemporaries
Langley, Eric (Lecturer in English, University College, London University)
Through close analysis of key Shakespearean texts and discussion of Renaissance revisions of Ovid, classical attitudes to suicide, early-modern optic theory, and narcissism in the epyllia tradition, this book illustrates how the seemingly extreme figures of the narcissist and self-slaughterer are indicative of early-modern attitudes to interiority.
