Over the course of theatrical history, there have been several kinds of soliloquies. Shakespeare's soliloquies are not only the most interesting and the most famous, but also the most misunderstood, and several chapters examine them in detail. The present study is based on a painstaking analysis of the actual practices of dramatists from each age of theatrical history. This investigation has uncovered evidence that refutes long-standing commonplaces about soliloquies in general, about Shakespeare's soliloquies in particular, and especially about the to be, or not to be episode. 'Shakespeare and the history of Soliloquies' casts new lights on historical changes in the artistic representation of human beings and, because representations cannot be entirely disentangled from perception, on historical changes in the ways human beings have perceived theselves. 606 $aSoliloquy 606 $aSpeech in literature 606 $aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aSoliloquy. 615 0$aSpeech in literature. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.2/45 700 $aHirsh$b James E.$f1946-$01869167 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957338003321 996 $aShakespeare and the history of soliloquies$94477368 997 $aUNINA
