Loose Notes on Stoicism, Interiority, and Epistemological Crisis in Elizabeth Cary's "Tragedy of Mariam"
About this book
Seminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1, 3, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: "Seventeenth-Century Women's Writing", language: English, abstract: As the title indicates, this paper presents a rather loose collection, or perhaps a montage of observations I made while closely reading and thinking about Cary's famous closet drama. These observations concern, among other things, the heroine's self-fashioning as a Stoic subject; the resulting problems of continual identity, interiority, and subjection; the linguistic dimension of Herod's madness, which I (owing much of my outlook on things to Foucault) read as an instance of escalating epistemological crisis.
