Reseña del editor:

Historicism is a critical movement which has existed in some form from ancient Greece to modern times, but what exactly does it entail? In this lucid volume Paul Hamilton provides the essential key to learning the history, terminology and usage of historicism. Hamilton discusses the major thinkers in historicism, both past and present. With straightforwardness and clarity he provides his readers with the vocabulary to engage with historicism and literary theory. The differences between historicism and new historicism are explained and Hamilton links to contemporary debates such as feminism and post-colonialism. Historicism is essential reading for any student new to the sometimes bewildering field of literary theory. It is an ideal introductory guide and an invaluable foundation for further learning.
