Allen Shoaf Summary This collection of original essays repositions medieval literary studies after an era of historicism. Analyzing the legacy of Marxist and materialist theory on medieval literary criticism, the collection offers new ways of reading texts historically. Drawing upon aesthetic, ethical, and cultural vantage points and methods, these essays demonstrate that a variety of approaches and theories are "historical" and can change what it means to historicize medieval literature. By defining our post-historical moment in medieval English literary studies in terms of new possibilities, this collection will have broad appeal to those interested in the English Middle Ages, history, culture, and reading itself Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject English literature -- Middle English, 1100-1500 -- History and criticism -- Theory, etc Literature, Medieval -- History and criticism -- Theory, etc. Historical criticism (Literature) -- England Literature and history -- England Literature -- Philosophy.
