The struggle by one man to discover the secrets in another's heart is central to early modern discourse. Elizabeth Hanson examines the records of state torture, plays by Shakespeare and Jonson, 'cony-catching' pamphlets and Francis Bacon's philosophical writing to demonstrate a reconceptualizing of the 'subject' in both the political and philosophical sense of the term.
