Lisa Hopkins
- Synopsis
- Podcast series in which Dr Neema Parvini, author of Shakespeare’s History Plays: Rethinking Historicism and Shakespeare and Contemporary Theory: New Historicism and Cultural Materialism, interviews Shakespeare scholars and literary theorists from around the world in a bid to gain an understanding of current thinking in Shakespeare studies and in literary criticism more generally.
In this edition Parvini talks to Lisa Hopkins. Topics include: feminism; A.P. Rossiter and Shakespeare’s ambivalence; the ‘post-theory’ moment; subjectivity, contradiction and the coexistence of two competing ideas at the same time; women in The Hobbit; breastfeeding, nature and nurture; Victorian uses of Darwinian theory; did Shakespeare have a mind which could think otherwise, or did he share something with his contemporaries?; the question of aesthetic value; and economic necessity as a driver of criticism. - Series
