This 1986 study offers a challenging contribution to the on-going
critical debate surrounding the English literary Renaissance.
Although informed by the 'new historicism' and post-structuralism,
Hidden Designs makes a plea for criticism to be practiced in its
own name rather than in the name of theory, and opposes the
hyper-professionalisation of literary studies in favour of the
broader communal functions of criticism. Major Renaissance authors
and their recent critics are placed under 'suspicion' as Crewe
explores the elements of 'criminality' inherent in the powerful
interests -personal, institutional, political and cultural - served
by the literary enterprise, or channelled through it. Revisionary
readings of Sidney, Spenser, Puttenham and Shakespeare are linked
by a continuing commentary on the history and theoretical claims of
Renaissance criticism.
