Reconstructing contexts : the aims and principles of archaeo-historicism /

An attempt to justify and theorize old historicism, defining archaeo-historicism as reconstructing past contexts in order to interpret works and events of that time. The book identifies legitimate objects for reconstruction and proposes principles by which such interpretation may be pursued.
