Description

First published in 1985 and reissued as part of Routledge Revivals, The Subject of Tragedy examines sixteenth and seventeenth century drama to explore the differential identities of man and woman during the Renaissance period. Catherine Belsey analyses both fictional and non-fictional texts to trace how modern subjectivity emerged as a distinct concept in this era. The book highlights how liberal humanism's self-determining subject-positioned as the free origin of language, choice and action-developed as a product of Renaissance thought, where man served as the primary subject and woman was constructed in relation to him. This scholarly work provides essential insight into how Renaissance drama shaped contemporary understandings of identity, gender and human agency that continue to influence literary and cultural criticism today.

Key Features

The Subject of Tragedy examines sixteenth and seventeenth century drama to analyse how Renaissance thought produced modern concepts of individual identity and subjectivity.

Catherine Belsey charts both fictional and non-fictional Renaissance texts to explore the differential construction of male and female identities during this transformative period.

This Routledge Revivals edition reissues a foundational 1985 text that traces how liberal humanism's self-determining subject emerged as a historically specific concept rather than universal truth.

The book reveals how Renaissance drama positioned man as the primary subject and woman as dependent upon him, establishing gender hierarchies that persist in contemporary culture.
