Rather, we need a historical perspective that is attuned to cultural and political differences within same time as …

Indeed, at this point few are likely even to recall that when literary criticism first proclaimed a (re)turn to in the 1980s, historicist critics in a range of fields were seen as positioning themselves against feminist work. Most explicitly perhaps in the English Renaissance, but also in nineteenth-century Ameri…
