| Samenvatting: | This text presents a cultural analysis of Shakespeare's works and other early modern literature. Contending that recent "thick" historical criticism has gone too far in the direction of the local and peculiar, Bruster (U. of Texas) offers a "thin" description of culture that incorporates a broader range of contextual elements than New Historicism commonly employs.
