Toward a New Historicism

By (author) Wesley Morris

| on special |

normal price: R 4,017.95

Price: R 3,615.95


| book description |

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. Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
