Applications of MarxismTHROUGHOUT THIS GUIDE TO THEORY, I have tried, when possible, to offer a certain consistency to the applications by analyzing the same material from different theoretical perspectives. As in the introductions to Gender and Sex, New Historicism, Psychoanalysis, and Poststructuralism, I here offer a reading of two sonnets by Spenser. I chose the sonnet form since its size makes it easy to reproduce on the web page and its complexity exemplifies the extent to which even a small literary work can be unpacked in interesting and multiple ways by using the theoretical lenses at our disposal. When possible, I have also provided a second application through a reading of the Dürer image associated with the given section of this Guide to Theory.
