Early Modern Writing
and the Privatization
of Experience
Nick Davis
• Wide-ranging
study of Early
Modern thought
through the
work of writers
from Chaucer to
Shakespeare
• Explores key
literary works in
their
philosophical, scientific and political
contexts
• Examines the legacy of Early Modern
writing in contemporary constructions
of private experience
Reading a wide range of Early Modern
authors, this book charts the movement
away from reliance on collective
experience, and the construction of
the individual as the locus of authentic
perception, thought and feeling, between
the fourteenth and early eighteenth
centuries.

Agamben’s Joyful
Kafka
Finding Freedom Beyond
Subordination
Anke Snoek
• The first critical
review of the
influence of
Kafka’s work on
Agamben
• The first book
to elaborate
on Agamben’s
philosophy
of political
empowerment and freedom
Both Giorgio Agamben and Franz
Kafka are best known for their gloomy
political worldview. A cautious study of
Agamben’s references on Kafka, however,
reveals another dimension right at the
intersection of their works: a complex
and unorthodox theory of freedom.

form of evil
An autistic boy
who has vanished
