Greenblatt has been at the centre of the new historicism, a method of literary interpretation that situates cultural creation in history. This is a sustained and powerful exemplification of this method - he asks how collective beliefs and experiences are shaped and offered for public consumption on the stage through Shakespeare's plays.
