Misrepresentations: Shakespeare and the Materialists

Misrepresentations: Shakespeare and the Materialists

by Graham Bradshaw (Author)

Synopsis

Just at the moment when conflicts between critical isms are threatening to turn the study of English literature into a game park for endangered texts, Bradshaw arrives with a work of liberating wit and insight. His subject is double: the Shakespeare he reads and the Shakespeare whom critics in the ranks of the new historicists and cultural materialists are representing (or misrepresenting).
