Description

Explore the evolution of Shakespearean studies with this comprehensive guide from Bloomsbury. Since Stephen Greenblatt's Renaissance Self-Fashioning changed traditional criticism, New Historicism and Cultural Materialism have become the leading methods for analyzing the Bard's work. This text provides students with a deep look into the key writers, texts, and ideas that define contemporary Shakespeare criticism. Beyond the dominant theories, this book covers essential alternative perspectives. It examines the work of dissenters including evolutionary critics, historical formalists, and advocates of 'the new aestheticism.' This resource serves as a vital tool for understanding the shifting landscape of literary theory and its application to Shakespearean drama.
