At Zero Point
Discourse, Culture, and Satire in Restoration England
About the Author
Reviews
"Stimulating and persuasive."—In-Between
"Effectively challenges easy assumptions of the referentiality of Restoration satire and drama and stresses the literary context."—Journal of English and Germanic Philology
"Only rarely does such a radical reexamination of culture occur, and Zimbardo's At Zero Point brings new insights into both Renaissance and Restoration scholarship."—Rocky Mountain Review
"Zimbardo's point is that we, like Wycherley's generation, are at zero point, caught between a 'deconstructive' period—the 1960s, with their attack on 'the strangling social fictions of the establishment'—and a reactionary one—the 1990s, era of 'the new holy nationalism, conservatism, and racism.'"—Seventeenth-Century News
"An important and provocative book, with rewarding turns to authorship, gender, and nationalism."—Studies in English Literature
"One of the most ambitious books this year. . . . Stimulating and innovative, bringing an interesting mix of neglected and canonical texts to our attention."—Year's Work in English Studies
