Description

Explore a significant contribution to literary theory with this Routledge Library Edition. Originally published in 1989, Professor Jackson provides a deep analysis of historical criticism and its role in understanding literature. This work argues that reading literature and criticism as they were understood when they were new serves as a necessary foundation for other methods of approaching past texts. By analyzing the semantic grounds of literary study, Jackson distinguishes between the specific challenges faced by historical critics and the broader problems encountered by historians. The book treats historical criticism as an ideal to be pursued, offering a framework for how scholars can better approach the literature of the past. This text is an essential resource for students and academics interested in the relationship between historical context and text meaning.
