Overview
New Historicism and Cultural Materialism have become two of the most powerful and appealing movements in modern criticism. Their initial conquest of renaissance studies has escalated into a global colonisation of English and American literary history. A wealth of innovative work has emerged on everything from the Canterbury Tales to the Cantos, bringing intense theoretical controversy in its wake. This Reader pulls the diversity and polemical vigour of this new critical constellation into focus for the first time.Synopsis
