Recenzii
Alternative Histories of the Self is an excellent book, which has much to teach us about the power and pitfalls of the notion of a 'unique' personality. The chapters are well-written and engaging, and will appeal to academics and advanced students alike.
Anna Clark's engaging account of five extraordinary individuals vividly illustrates the exciting gains in suspending modern formulations of the self to gain historical knowledge of self-fashioning in the past. These case studies point to alternative modes of interiority available not to the many but to the few who dared to imagine themselves as unique in their body, gender or sexuality. This fascinating study of those rare exceptions to the rule deftly shows what's possible when we approach the history of sexuality as a history of the self.
[A] compelling close study of five key personalities, the Chevalier/Chevalière d'Éon, Anne Lister, Richard Johnson, James Hinton, and Edith Ellis, whose biographies are mapped against the radical rethinking of subjectivity that spanned the eras from Rousseau to Nietzsche.
