Key questions for students

•To what extent do you believe that new historicism is really ‘new’?

•Do you think that the early new historicists, such as Jonathan Goldberg and Leonard Tennenhouse, had a valid point in arguing that Shakespeare was essentially a puppet of the Tudor state and his plays simply conduits of the dominant ideologies of his time?

•Are Catherine Gallagher and Stephen Greenblatt right to follow Clifford Geertz in treating culture as a text, essentially as a giant poem? Why?

•Are they right to follow Michel Foucault in dispensing with the materiality of ideology? Why?

•Do you agree with myself, David Scott Kastan and others that new historicism is, despite appearances, in fact a type of ‘hidden formalism’? If so, why? And if not, why not?
