This article looks back to the time of Radical Tragedy and Political Shakespeare, the political, historical and philosophical impetus behind those books, and the larger critical practice of cultural materialism, of which they were an expression. It also engages with a recent development in criticism, deriving from the evolutionary sciences, linking it with those earlier books and their concerns via the concept of human nature.
