Description
Stephen Greenblatt's seminal writings on culture and Renaissance studies are collected in this comprehensive Reader. Spanning topics from Shakespeare to storytelling and miracles, these essays showcase the breadth of his cultural interests.
The texts gathered here challenge the notion that new historicism is incompatible with literary and aesthetic value, offering a nuanced exploration of the relationships between culture, literature, and society.
This volume provides a unique insight into the thought of one of the most influential practitioners of new historicism, making it an essential resource for scholars and students of Renaissance studies and cultural theory.
