ELEGY AND IDENTITY

Authors

Abstract

Death often brings on a crisis in mourner identity. Expressions of grieg are often expressions of a loss or disruption in a mounrner's sense of self. I study historical examples of the expression of disrupted identity, drawn from Renaissance and modern elegy, to argue that the relation between a formal criterion of personal identity and a subjective sense of self is mediated by historical views of the nature of persons.
