More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'students of Shakespeare will find plenty of food for thought...Hillman's discussion of the cannibalistic fantasies that pervade Hamlet and the extensive heart imagery in King Lear are particularly interesting, and his chapter on Troilus and Cressida is essential reading for anyone tackling this strange but fascinating play. Shakespeare's Entrails is another excellent addition to the Palgrave Shakespeare Studies series.' - J. D. Atkinson, British Theatre Guide
'The scope of Hillman's argument can extend to include appetite, nausea, sex, breath, faith and a more general sense of inferiority and exteriority - (o homes and kingdoms). Shakespeare's Entrails brings an essential realm of language into focus, and provides something like a small encyclopedia of viscera on the way.' - Oliver Harris, TLS

Product Description
Shakespeare's Entrails explores the connections between embodiment, knowledge and acknowledgement in Shakespeare's plays. Drawing on psychoanalytic, philosophical, historicist and literary-critical methodologies, the introduction sets out a theory of the emergence of modern subjectivity in relation to the changing attitudes to the interior of the human body in the Renaissance. In the context of a world that was increasingly coming to see the body as a closed system, previously dominant notions of human relatedness based on entering the other's body or of having one's own inhabited by the other became deeply problematised. The book examines four plays - Troilus and Cressida, Hamlet, King Lear and The Winter's Tale - in detail, interrogating the ways in which each intersects with the historical and epistemological faultlines set out in the introduction and outlining a trajectory of the relation between embodiment, scepticism and belief in Shakespeare's plays.
