The New Historicism by Harold Veeser
Following Clifford Geertz and other cultural anthropologists, the New Historicist critics have evolved a method for describing culture in action. Their thick descriptions seize upon an event or anecdote--colonist John Rolfe's conversation with Pocohontas's father, a note found among Nietzsche's papers to the effect that I have lost my umbrella--and re-read it to reveal through the analysis of tiny particulars the motive forces controlling a whole society.
