Recent ‘new historicist’ writings on Renaissance literature and culture are located at an intersection of conventional, modern literacy criticism;‘Post-structuralist’ cultural hermeneutics; and the frequently discounted tradition of philological scholarship. Criticism of their attempts to use these ‘Post-structualist’ developments in the human sciences as a way of renovating literary critical activity is followed by and attempt to advertise possible theoretical (as distinct from erudite) virtues of philological investigations for literary-cultural studies. In particular, elements of Ernst Kantorowicz's work on the concept of kingship are shown to have a critical bearing on how relationships between Renaissance ‘literary’ authorship and authority might be conceived
