Summary:
"This book offers a sustained discussion of a specific period of
English literature. The author uses Renaissance drama and
contemporary theory to question and illuminate each other. The volume
works on several levels. It provides a comprehensive account of key
modern literary theories and presents detailed applications of them
to a wide range of Renaissance plays. It also offers a new way of
thinking about the relationship of modern literary theory to its main
predecessor, humanism. Finally, it writes a history, which
Renaissance drama and modern theory are seen as sharing, of the
antagonisms and attempted reconciliations between signs and psyche,
objects and subjects, history and self, and language and the
human."--BOOK JACKET.
