Description

This anthology traces the ascendancy of materialist Shakespeare criticism in the United States and Great Britain over the past decade-and-a-half, influenced by such diverse theorists as Derrida, Jameson, Foucault, Irigaray, Kristeva, Lacan and Althusser. The essays bear witness to the emergence of materialist criticism as an interpretive practice. Fredric Jameson provides an afterword to the book.
