Historicizing Theory provides the first serious examination of
contemporary theory in relation to the various twentieth-century
historical and political contexts out of which it emerged.
Theory--a broad category that is often used to encompass
theoretical approaches as varied as cleconstruction, New
Historicism, and post colonialism--has often been derided as a mere
"relic" of the 1960s. In order to move beyond such a simplistic
assessment, the essays in this volume examine such important
figures as Harold Bloom, Paul de Man, Jacques Derrida, Michael
Foucault, Stephen Greenblatt, and Edward Said, situating their work
in a variety of contexts inside and outside of the 1960s, including
World War 11, the Holocaust, the Algerian civil war, and the canon
wars of the 1980s. In bringing us face-to-face with the history of
theory, "Historicizing Theory recuperates history for theory and
asks us to confront some of the central issues and problems in
literary studies today.
