Drawing on Louis Montrose’s catchphrase that Cultural Materialism foregrounds \"the textuality of history, [and] the historicity of texts\", this book contends that literary \"texts\" are synchronic artifacts prone to myriad intertextual and extra-textual readings and understandings, each historically conditioned.
