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. 410 4$aThe New Historicism: Studies in Cultural Poetics Series 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc$xEarly modern, 1500-1700 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aLiterature and history$xHistory$x16th century$xEngland 606 $aLiterature and history$xHistory$x17th century$xEngland 606 $aLiterature and history$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLiterature and history$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aParticularity (Aesthetics) 606 $aParticularite?
