Greenblatt

Opis

Stephen Greenblatt has been at the centre of a major shift in literary interpretation towards a critical method that places cultural creation in history. In this book he asks how collective beliefs and experiences are shaped, moved from one medium to another, concentrated in manageable form and offered to the public on the stage. As well as providing an original way of understanding Shakespeare's achievement, the book gives an analysis of the cultural process.

Recenzje

`If his self-explanatory model is (for all its suppleness) continually defeated by the richness of the literary material, then the very defeat is vivid to us because of the honest intelligence and sensitivity of Greenblatt himself. This is remarkable writing; we need more of the same.' Comparative Criticism
