Essays on the Modern Identity

Edited by William D. Brewer and Carole J. Lambert.

This volume selectively represents the developing understanding of the modern self from the time of Rousseau to the end of 20th century. It contextualizes the late-twentieth-century crisis of the self by exploring the relationships between modern and postmodern conceptions of the human identity. Featuring exemplary analyses of selected texts, paintings, and prints, this collection of essays is offered as a contribution to the ongoing, necessarily interdisciplinary discussion of the place of modern identity in a postmodern world.
