Toward a new historicism.
"Assessing major critics from Vernon Parrington to Murray Krieger, Wesley Morris points the way to a "new historicism." He outlines traditional historicist interests in American literary theory and draws from them the foundation for a vital new study of literature. As Mr. Morris shows, however, the new historicism moves beyond--necessarily using the most recent developments in linguistics, anthropology, psychoanalysis, the psychology of perception and literary response--to see the aesthetic relationship between the work and its context"--Amazon.com.
