The "cultural poetics" represented by Greenblatt is mainly famous for distinguishing between historicism and formalism and utilizing the resources of the two schools. This book believes that its core lies in using Foucault's thought of power to illustrate literary activities, as a sign that far-fetched historicism has truly entered reality, and also as the key to formalism getting out of the language prison. In his specific comments on "Shakespeare's Opera and "Early British Romanticism", he affirmed the power game relationship between the three artistic generative dimensions of author, text and reader, and expressed his overall concept of literary criticism in the poetic "oscillation" space formed by these nodes.
