Abstract

The topic of this chapter is forbiddingly technical sounding, so we will have to define our terms. The chapter describes - and offers a qualified defense of - this type of criticism. It also suggests why "materialist" and "political" criticism should be concerned with Shakespeare. But first, we discuss terminology.
