Self-Fashioning
Self-fashioning, a term introduced by Stephen Greenblatt (Renaissance Self-Fashioning, 1980), is used to describe the process of constructing one's identity and public persona according to a set of socially acceptable standards. Greenblatt described the process in the Renaissance era where a noble man was instructed to dress in the finest clothing he could afford, to be well versed and educated in art, literature, sports, and other culturally determined noble exercises, and to generally compose himself in a carefully intended manner. Additionally, the relationship between self-fashioning and the aesthetic mediums was a reciprocal one. Just as the art of creating oneself was highly influenced by the art and literature of the time, such as conduct books and religious iconography, such a concern for one's outwardly projected image was reflected in the portraiture of the time.

Dunkle Renaissance
Für alle, die packend erzählte Geschichte lieben: Stephen Greenblatt entführt uns in eine wilde, aufregende Zeit, in der die englische Literatur und das Theater neu erfunden wurdenDas England des 16. Jahrhunderts war eine brutale Welt, geprägt von politischen Intrigen, religiösen Kämpfen und grassierenden Seuchen. Und dennoch wurde das elisabethanische Zeitalter zu einer überragenden Blütezeit der englischen Literatur. Ihr Wegbereiter war Christopher Marlowe: Im gleichen Jahr wie William Shakespeare wurde er als Sohn eines Schusters geboren. Allen Widrigkeiten zum Trotz erkämpfte er sich ein Stipendium in Cambridge, ließ sich in den Spionagedienst der Königin verwickeln und schuf einige der spektakulärsten Meisterwerke der englischen Literatur, bevor er im Alter von nur 29 Jahren unter mysteriösen Umständen ums Leben kam. Mitreißend erzählt Pulitzer-Preisträger Stephen Greenblatt vom kurzen, bewegten Leben Christopher Marlowes. Er zeigt ihn als einen Getriebenen, einen Mann voll unbezähmbarer Neugier, mit Lust auf das Fremde und einem Hang zur Selbstzerstörung, der gerade deshalb Revolutionäres denken und Außergewöhnliches schaffen konnte. 'Ein großartiges Buch. Es beschwört die Angst und Gefahr des späten elisabethanischen Englands herauf, wo Grafen vergiftet werden und niemandem zu trauen ist, am allerwenigsten der Regierung. Die Handlung ist so spannend wie ein Spionageroman ... ¿Dunkle Renaissance¿ ist eine packende Geschichte voller Wendungen, die den Schrecken und die Hoffnungen dieser verlorenen, düsteren Welt brillant einfängt.'

Shakespeare. Una vita nel teatro
Verso la fine del Cinquecento un giovanotto di provincia si trasferisce a Londra: non è ricco di famiglia, non ha conoscenze importanti, non ha studiato all'università. Il suo nome è William Shakespeare, e in un arco di tempo straordinariamente breve diventa il drammaturgo più importante di tutti i tempi. Le sue opere attirano colti cittadini londinesi e analfabeti che per la prima volta andavano a teatro. Fa ridere e piangere il pubblico, trasforma la politica in poesia, mescola arditamente beffe volgari e sottigliezze filosofiche. Cattura con uguale profondità gli aspetti più intimi della vita dei sovrani come di quella dei mendicanti, e allo stesso tempo mima senza fatica gli accenti dei goffi villani e si diverte con i racconti delle vecchie comari. Raccogliendo con perizia indizi, tracce e ipotesi, Stephen Greenblatt, oggi il massimo studioso mondiale di teatro elisabettiano, dipinge del Bardo un ritratto colto, ricostruendo ad arte la vita di uno scrittore capace come nessun altro di creare nomi e parole per le nostre passioni di uomini, e di dare corpo e immagine a sentimenti potenti e universali, con versi imperituri che a quattro secoli di distanza ancora non smettono di stupirci, di interrogarci, di rivelarci chi siamo.
