Reconstructing contexts : the aims and principles of archaeo-historicism

Author:	Robert D Hume
Publisher:	Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, ©1999.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Reconstructing Contexts attempts to justify and theorize 'old historicism', defining 'archaeo-historicism' as a method by which scholars can reconstruct past context in order to apply it to the interpretation of works and events of that time. If such reconstruction is to be more than wildly impressionistic, it must be grounded in hard evidence handled according to clear rules. In this intriguing and rigorous analysis, Robert D. Hume identifies legitimate objects for reconstruction and proposes procedures and principles by which such interpretation may be pursued. He then examines the failures and limitations of contextual reconstruction, which works only when adequate evidence can be found. In particular, Hume flatly denies the intellectual legitimacy of 'literary history' as it is commonly practised and attempts to disentangle such history from the practice of historicism. The final chapter is devoted to a cogent discussion of how archaeo-historicism relates to various forms of contemporary theory. Although addressed primarily to literary critics, this wide-ranging and bold work will be of interest to historians and cultural critics as well.  Read more...
