One of the foremost figures in Renaissance studies today, Stephen Greenblatt is also a pioneer of the "new historicism"--the influential theoretical movement in cultural criticism that is radically refashioning the study of the humanities. Learning to Curse combines historical and anthropological techniques with rigorous textual analysis and vivid writing. Greenblatt produces imaginative and often disturbing new approaches to issues and authors which once seemed comfortably familiar.
