Other books authored by Stephen Greenblatt

* Marvelous Possessions: The Wonder of the New World
1991, University of Chicago Press, paperback
An examination of a selection of objects found to be odd or exotic by European explorers in order to comment on the philosophy of wonder, and to show that wonder is a sign of the tolerance of cultural difference.


* New World Encounters
1993, University of California Press, paperback

This collection of essays, encompassing history, literary criticism, art history, and anthropology, offers a fresh approach to the early encounter between European and American people and the discovery of the Indies. "This work is so solid, so elegantly presented, and at the same time so innovative that the book should attract considerable attention and remain in use for a long time."
– Anthony Grafton, author of Defenders of the Text


Renaissance Self-Fashioning: From More to Shakespeare
1980, University of Chicago Press, paperback

Recipient of the British Council Prize in the Humanities for the best book in British studies by a North American scholar. "A book which no one concerned with Western culture in or since the Renaissance should miss." – Richard Streier, Boundary 2


* Shakesperean Negotiations:
The Circulation of Social Energy in Renaissance England

1989, University of California Press, paperback

A sustained and powerful exemplification of situating cultural creation in history, offering a new way of understanding the power of Shakespeare's achievement, and an original analysis of cultural process. "The most intensely rewarding lit-crit book I've ever read." – Scott L. Malcolmson, Voice Literary Supplement

"An indispensible addition to our understanding of the structures of representation and response in Elizabeth and Jacobean culture." – Times Higher Education Supplement


* Learning to Curse: Essays in Early Modern Culture
