| Summary: | "In the forty essays and reviews in this book, one finds a microcosm of English Renaissance studies over the past thirty-five years. The earliest essays come from a dissertation on comic structure done in the 1970s; the latest reviews two new productions of Merry Wives of Windsor, a play which had very few fans until quite recently. Taken altogether, the essays trace the interests of an exceptional Renaissance scholar as those interests reshape themselves in response to changing theoretical constructs: new historicism blends into feminism, and that into a gentle post-colonialism which only deconstructs what needs deconstructing. A genuinely Renaissance sensibility to archetypes pervades Dr. Preussner's work." -- Book jacket. |
