Literary studies: plays & playwrights

Paperback. Shakespeare used the word 'animal' only eight times in his work - which was typical for the sixteenth century, when the word was rarely used. The author reveals that the animal-human divide first came strongly into play in the seventeenth century, with Descartes' formulation that reason sets humans above other species: 'I think, therefore I am'.
