If we come to consciousness within a language that is complicit with the social order, how can we conceive, let alone organize, resistance to that social order? This key question in the politics of reading and subcultural practice informs Alan Sinfields book on writing in earlymodern England.New historicism has often shown people trapped in a web of language and culture. In lively discussions of writings by Shakespeare, Marlowe, Sidney, and Donne, Sinfield reassesses the scope of dissidence and control. The earlymodern state, Christianity, and the cultural apparatus, despite an ideology of unity and explicit violence, could not but allow space to challenging voices. Sinfield shows that disruptions in concepts of hierarchy, nationality, gender, and sexuality force their way into literary texts.Sinfield is often provocative. He rewrites Julius Caesar to produce a different politics, compares Sidneys idea of poetry to Leonid Brezhnevs, and reinstates the concept of character in the face of poststructuralist theory. He keeps the current politics of literary study in view, especially in a substantial chapter on Shakespeare in the U.S. Sinfield subjects interactions between class, ethnicity, sexuality, and the professional structures of the humanities to a detailed and hardhitting critique, and argues for new commitments to collectivities and subcultures.

I ordered this book hoping for a straightforward read, but it felt more like a textbook. The discussions on politics and dissident reading were insightful, yet the complexity was overwhelming. Not very user-friendly for non-scholars.

Interesting Concepts but Dense
I appreciate the ideas in Faultlines, but I found some sections a bit hard to follow. The analysis is thorough, but the writing style is quite academic. Could be a challenging read for casual learners.
