This book of original essays explores three important areas in
comparative literature and history and in cultural studies: the
boundaries between history and fiction;women as writers and
subjects; and the connection between the early modern, modern and
postmodern. New history and new literary studies look at innovative
ways to see past cultures in a new light. Traditional methods are
used to new ends and writers who are familiar within their cultures
are translated to other cultures. This study promotes an expanded
understanding of our cultural artifacts in a rapidly changing
present. It discusses English-speaking culture in the early modern
period in the context of other European cultures and relates Europe
to other parts of the world, most notably America. After grounding
the discussion of culture in history, identity, dialogue as a genre
that crosses the boundaries between philosophy and fiction, the
rhetoric of prefaces to historical collections, cosmographies and
histories that share something with the techniques of literary and
forensic rhetoric, the book proceeds to discuss two central issues
in cultural studies today: gender and postmodernity. The final
section of the book provides a general assessment through early
modern texts of modernity and postmodernity.
