Michel de Montaigne's (1533-1592) Essais, was a profound study of human subjectivity. More than three hundred years before the advent of psychoanalysis, Montaigne embarked on a remarkable quest to see and imagine the self from a variety of vantage points. He asked how shall I live? How can I know myself? And in so doing explored the significance of monsters, nightmares, and traumatic memories; the fear of impotence; the fragility of gender; and how to cope with and anticipate death.

"Lawrence D. Kritzman is centered on the way Montaigne's essays are self-contained expositions of ambivalence and unresolved tension about the difficulties of living, negotiating, and being in the world. He brings us back to archaic but vital issues that haunt us: to monsters and nightmares; to fear of impotence; to thoughts about the end of filial lines; to the ways that writing exhumes and thus copes with traumatic memories; to mimicry not as a way of representing the world but as a tactics of diverting, deflecting, and ultimately assuaging its violence. A strong and enduring contribution not only to early modern study but also the importance of theory insofar as it can be displaced into and out of the works of canonical authors." -- Tom Conley, Harvard University
