DISCONTINUITIES IN CONTEMPORARY RENAISSANCE CRITICISM

The editors of a volume for the University of Toronto Press's
Theory/Culture Series invite submissions of previously unpublished
essays addressing the discontinuities, failures, problems apparent in
recent criticism of the English Renaissance. Of special interest are
essays that explore the contradictions between theory and practice:
e.g., inconsistencies between poststructuralist and feminist
approaches; the inclination to aestheticize political criticism; the
reluctance even among radical critics to decentre canonical texts;
biases generated by gender or sexual orientation, such as the tendency
to universalize the heterosexual subject; tensions produced by a
middle-class professoriate promoting various modes of materialist
criticism. Also welcome are essays that rehistoricize or
recontextualize specific canonical or non-canonical literary texts.
Proposals by January, 1994, completed manuscripts by June, 1994 to:

Viviana Comensoli, English Department, Wilfred Laurier University,
Waterloo, Ontario, N2L 3C5, CANADA

OR:

Paul Stevens, English Department, Queen's University, Kingston,
Ontario, K7L 3N6, CANADA
