    2)The manner in which the text reveals a historical situation
    3)The ways in which other historical texts can help us understand the texts ]]>     2018-03-19 16:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/klarsen51/1k8q3u34paur/wish/243623971     Person 1: klarsen51 https://padlet.com/klarsen51/1k8q3u34paur/wish/243623972 Person 1: Why bother viewing literature through the New Historicism perspective?  Why should we still use it to analyze literature?
    Through New Historicism, and its conceptions on power or other theme, we can identify patterns (Archetypes) in various works. Analyzing how authors define a common theme can help us to better understand the meaning and background behind a story ]]>     2018-03-19 16:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/klarsen51/1k8q3u34paur/wish/243623972
