Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book presents advanced research by people working in the field of a critical theory of literature which sets its work in the prevailing political and historical context and applies it to the re-reading of literary and cultural texts. Included in the topics covered in this volume, one of a series, are the historical ground between "Richard II" and "Henry V", poetics versus materialism in the Renaissance and the place of AIDS and plagues in history.
