Summary:
In Montaigne and Shakespeare: The Unfolding of the Self, Peter G. Platt offers a profound comparative analysis of Michel de Montaigne’s essays and William Shakespeare’s plays. Through sustained close readings, Platt delves into how both authors explore themes of self, knowledge, and form. He emphasizes their shared focus on fractures, interruptions, and alternatives to conventional understanding, shedding light on their innovative approaches to the complexities of identity and the human experience.
The book provides new insights into the intellectual exchange between Montaigne’s philosophical essays and Shakespeare’s dramatic works, underlining their similar treatment of the self as an evolving and multifaceted entity.
