Review

"This year's award for a must-read collection goes to Subject and Object in Renaissance Culture, with its knock-them-dead title. Confronted by such a work and its truly remarkable phalanx of academic stars, what reviewer could resist...they are as intelligent as they are well known." Studies in English Literature

"This focus on rethinking the relationship between subject and object is certainly worthwhile and novel. And the essays that follow include some dazzling explorations of this theme." Jvotsna G. Singh, Shakespeare Quarterly

Book Description

Traditionally, Renaissance studies have concentrated on the human subject. This collection of original essays by leading scholars brings objects - purses, clothes, tapestries, houses, maps, feathers, tools, skulls - back into view. The result is an entirely new view of Renaissance literature and culture.
