Proposed Panel Title	Subjectivity, Surveillance and Authorship: The Example of Fulke Greville
Contact Information	Katrin Röder University of Potsdam, Germany kroeder@rz.uni-potsdam.de Universität Potsdam Institut für Anglistik / Amerikanistik Am Neuen Palais 10 14469 Potsdam Germany
Proposed Topic Area	My paper is going to deal with the role of Fulke Greville's works in the early modern process of subjectivity and authorship formation in connection with the system of absolutist surveillance and censorship. Greville's texts, above all his closet dramas, treatises and his "Life of Sir Philip Sidney" which are often described as dark, obscure and highly ambiguous in meaning, will be discussed with regard to traces of the author's internalization of absolutist discourse control and his strategies of discreet communication.
