Impossible Radicalism and Impossible Value --IndexTaking Wittgenstein's "Don't think, but look" as his motto, Richard Strier argues against the application of a priori schemes to Renaissance (and all) texts. He argues for the possibility and desirability of rigorously attentive but "pre-theoretical" reading. His approach privileges particularity and attempts to respect the "resistant structures" of texts. He opposes theories, critical and historical, that dictate in advance what texts must--or cannot--say or do. The first part of the book, "Against Schemes," demonstrates, in discussions of Rosemond Tuve, Stephen Greenblatt, and Stanley Fish among others, how both historicist and purely theoretical approaches can equally produce distortion of particulars. The second part, "Against Received Ideas," shows how a variety of texts (by Shakespeare, Donne, Herbert, and others) have been seen through the lenses of fixed, mainly conservative ideas in ways that have obscured their actual, surprising, and sometimes surprisingly radical content.The New Historicism: Studies in Cultural Poetics SeriesEnglish literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etcEarly modern, 1500-1700English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismTheory, etcLiterature and historyHistory16th centuryEnglandLiterature and historyHistory17th centuryEnglandLiterature and historyEnglandHistory16th centuryLiterature and historyEnglandHistory17th centuryParticularity (Aesthetics)Particularité (Esthétique)(CaQQLa)201-0016065Radicalism in literatureRenaissanceAngleterreRenaissanceEnglandEnglish literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etcEarly modern, 1500-1700.English literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etc.Literature and historyHistory16th centuryEngland.Literature and historyHistory17th centuryEngland.Literature and historyHistoryLiterature and historyHistoryParticularity (Aesthetics).Particularité (Esthétique)Radicalism in literature.RenaissanceAngleterre.RenaissanceEngland.820.9/003Strier Richardauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1230472DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910495968403321Resistant structures2856728UNINA
