Shakespeare and Literary Theory - Harris, Jonathan Gil (Professor of English, George Washington University)

Discussing the work of Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and HĂ©lne Cixous, Shakespeare and Literary Theory argues that literary theory is less an external set of ideas anachronistically imposed on Shakespeare's texts than a mode - or several modes - of critical reflection inspired by, and emerging from, his writing.
