ISBN: 9780691619972 出版年：2015 页码：277 Morris, Wesley Princeton University Press

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.
