摘要：The topic of this article is the new historicism, a term coined by the author to describe a method of criticism that has turned away from the formal, descontextualized analysis new criticism. Concerned with the embeddedness of cultural objects ( literary texts and other artifacts) in the contingencies of history, the new historicism distinguishes itself from traditional historicism in holding that human agency is inevitable in historical processes and that the critic can not suspend value judgements, nor should he approach the past in a spirit of veneration.Cultural objects have a resonance, that is, a power to evoke the cultural forces from which they emerged. They likewise have the power to arouse wonder, to convey an arresting sense of uniqueness. It is the interplay of the two - resonance and wonder - that the new historicism seeks to illuminate.
