This anthology traces the ascendancy of materialist Shakespeare criticism in the United States and Great Britain over the past decade-and-a-half, influenced by such diverse theorists as Derrida, Jameson, Foucault, Irigaray, Kristeva, Lacan and Althusser.
Receptive to influences of such diverse theorists as Derrida, Jameson, Foucault, Irigaray, Kristeva, Lacan and Althusser, materialist Shakespeare criticism has long since left behind the days of ‘vulgar’ Marxism and has emerged as a rich interpretive practice.
