Does a presentist bias skew ratings in a way that gives greater weight to more recent decisions and jurists? The result of this "mode of interpretation" would be, Belsey insists, "more history, not less, and more nuanced history" that would not be hampered, either by a vague appeal to presentist concerns, or by the temptation to slide back into "the old reassuring cognitive totalities of the Elizabethan world picture and the early modern mind" (ibid. To these words, he traces the fundamental distinction that New Historicists liked to make between "traditional historicism"--which was said to entail an "absolute reduction of the fundamental heterogeneity of the past"--and the New Historicism itself, which in emphasizing "the historicity of the historian's practice" claimed to avoid both "a presentist projection of contemporary concerns into the past" and "an antiquarian obsession with the past per se" (14, 16-17). |
