Renaissance Historicism: Selections from English Literary Renaissance
Arthur F Kinney, Dan S Collins et al.ARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2009
Among the current catchy phrases in Renaissance literary criticism is one called "The New Historicism".While this shares some of the techniques and vocabulary of other recent schools (deconstruction, reader response, semiotics), and while it can represent a wide ideological spectrum ranging from American liberalism to British Marxism, it is important to recognize the New Historicism as a movement (it is not exactly a school) separate from those f…
The Social Circulation of the Past: English Historical Culture 1500–1730

Nearly twenty-five years ago, F. Smith Fussner des…
