Product Description This book 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. In this intriguing and rigorous analysis, Robert Hume identifies legitimate objects for reconstruction by which such interpretation may be pursued. The book offers a profusion of examples of good and bad historicist reconstruction and interpretation. | ||
