Presentation on “New Historicism”
I made a quick presentation to give a very simple skeleton for a lesson on New Historicist literary criticism that I’ll be doing next Thursday. It’s deliberately simplistic so please excuse my mangling of Marx, Foucault and everyone else in the middle bit.
I’m not going to write up how I’d talk through these slides but if I did I’d probably say more or less what Paul H Fry says in this introductory lecture, which is available on YouTube thanks to the Yale University’s excellent Open Yale Courses initiative.
