Which Crit Is It?
Nymphs and Reapers Heavily Vanish, Barker and Hulme
After reading this essay and reading other blogs, there is a little discrepency about what is the actual criticism for this particular article. I've seen author intent, reader-response, and intertextuality criticism being applied to The Tempest in this particular article. I think that the reason why this article is looked at in a cultural context is because that it has the ability to easily used all of the criticisms. It's just like I said in my term project presentation, culture itself is open to interpretation and can be changed to fit anything.

You have it right there. Culture is open to anything. However, keep in mind what was in Greenblatt's article. A cultural critique of any work really does encompass all of the criticisms that we have studied in this semester. I think that might be why Dr. Jerz and Keesey left it for last. It is like a culminating activity.
