Opening the borders

About this book

"One of the most encouraging developments over the last several years has been the increasing interdisciplinarity of early modern studies and the easing of the rhetorical excesses emanating from the so-called "Theory Wars." This anthology collectively recognizes this development and provides exemplars of this eclectic practice. Rather than privileging one approach over the other, this volume collects essays that are consciously and deliberately diverse. Early modern studies is increasingly devoted to opening the borders between supposedly discrete areas of study, including supposedly antithetical theoretical approaches."--BOOK JACKET.
