From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Very good and clean. - Sehr gut und sauber. - My interest in the intellectual history of the English Renaissance and in Shakespeare in particular beg…an during a summer matinee performance at the Aldwych Theater, London, 1969. My experience of Troilus and Cressida that afternoon exhilarated yet disconcerted me. While I had never formally studied Shakespeare, I sensed that I had experienced him wronglynot as I was supposed to, not as intended. As I turned to Elizabethan historians and literary critics and returned to Troilus and Cressida (at the theater and in the text), I began to feel that the unease I had experienced, the dis-order (if you will), was meaningful. The play I watched and listened to and the text I read were problematical. Its language gave the lie to its meaning, to the ideology of order that Tillyard and others so clearlyand so appropriately, it appearedidentified as a thematic Elizabethan and Shakespearean convention. It was not that the play (and as I continued to read other of Shakespeares plays, I saw a similar relationship) was not about order, it was more that it problematically questioned its own obvious theme. It simultaneously established (reinforced, perhaps) and contested (critiqued) an ideology of order. Such textual self-contestation denied reductive interpretations that identified objective meaning in Shakespearean text and/or in Elizabethan cultural contexts; it suggested that historical meaning could best be apprehended as an experiential process. In trying over the years and in this book to approach the historical nature of this textually momentous self-contestation, I have treated the idea of order both as the objectively conventional Elizabethan ideology and as the referential context against which such meaning is subjectively problematized. As an intellectual history of the idea of order, this book hopes in the words of Dominick LaCapra to formulate as a problem what is so often taken deceptively as a solution: the relationship between texts and their various pertinent contexts.
