Book Description:
Located at the intersection of new historicism and the 'new formalism', historical formalism is one of the most rapidly growing and important movements in early modern studies. This approach takes seriously the theoretical issues raised by both history and form, challenging the anti-formalist orthodoxies of new historicism and expanding the scope of historicist criticism.
Shakespeare and Historical Formalism is the first volume devoted exclusively to this approach, collecting and assessing work that spans a variety of topics, including performance theory, the emergence of 'the literary', historiography, and pedagogy. The book emphasizes the value of historical formalism for Shakespeare studies and literary criticism more broadly.
Divided into two main sections:
-
'Historicizing Form' explores the historical and political sources, meanings, and functions of Shakespeare's dramatic forms.
-
'Re-Forming History' rethinks our understanding of historicism and history itself by engaging with questions of form.
This volume is a critical invitation for scholars to reevaluate familiar categories in formal and historical criticism.
