firstly let us consider what is New historicism? New Historicism is a theory applied to literature that suggests literature must be studied and interpreted within the context of both the history of the author and the history of the critic. Literature is also the product out of the author's consciousness and the author's consciousness is shaped by his society. Thus new historicism is an important tool in analyzing literature from social perspective.
