Title: Essaying Montaigne
Subtitle: A Study of the Renaissance Institution of Writing and Reading (Liverpool University Press - Studies in European Regional Cultures)
Description: John O'Neill reads Montaigne's 'Essays' from the principle of friendship as a communicative and pedagogical practice in society, literature and politics. He shows how subjectivity is shaken by its internal weakness once we move inside the structure of domination in politics, gender and race.
