[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see how faddish ideological "reading" of Shakespeare is to literary studies what quantum mechanics is to physics.[/quote] I promise you that when quantum mechanical ideas were introduced, many many physicists, including great ones that laid the foundations of quantum like Milliken, wrote it off as nonsense. Sometimes (often?) writing off fads is the correct approach. But once in a while you learn something from them. [/quote] +1 Also seems misleading to so simplify 20th century progress as to say Einstein “built upon” the work of Newton. It’s fair to say he complicated Newton’s work, even upended it at certain scales. Or even, dare I say, “disrupted” it. [/quote]
