Description

Shakespeare Minus 'Theory' by Tom McAlindon offers a rigorous examination of Shakespearean drama through the lens of close reading and historical contextualisation. Published by Routledge, this collection of essays provides a necessary counterpoint to modern critical trends by defending traditional methods of literary analysis. This volume combines original studies with previously published pieces to provide a deep look at the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Readers will find six interpretative studies that challenge radical readings of major works, including Henry V, Coriolanus, The Tempest, and Doctor Faustus. Beyond individual play analysis, the book includes three essays that critique the methods and claims of postmodernist criticism, specifically targeting new historicism and cultural materialism. This text serves as a valuable resource for students, academics, and readers who want to explore the tension between historical context and radical critical theory in Renaissance drama.
