Reading literary texts in their historical contexts has been the
dominant form of interpretation in literary criticism for the past
thirty years. This collection of essays reflects on the origins of
historicism and its present usefulness as a mode of literary
analysis, its limitations, and its future. The volume provides a
brief history of the practice from its renaissance origins,
offering examples of historicist work that not only demonstrate the
continuing vitality of this methodology but also suggest new
directions for research. Focusing on the major figures of
Shakespeare and Milton, these essays provide important and concise
representations of trends in the field. Designed for scholars and
students of early modern English literature (1500 1700), the volume
will also be of interest to students of literature more generally
and to historians.
