Stimmen zu »The Return of Theory in Early Modern English Studies«
'The contributors draw on current and emerging fields cognitive science, the new formalism, political theology to cast exciting new light on Renaissance texts. This is an essential collection for anyone interested in knowing where the study of early modern literature is headed.' - Richard Halpern, Johns Hopkins University, USA
'This book makes theory exciting again, both in itself and as a catalyst to re-visioning early modern texts. After a dreary end-of-theory decade, it's good to read essays energized by their engagements with neuroscience, political theology, semantics, and new formalisms. This very smart collection makes a compelling intellectual case for theory's resurgence.' - Jean E. Howard, George Delacorte Professor in the Humanities, Columbia University, USA
