28% relevant, context: An outstanding pioneer example of such a contextualized study was Peter Thornton's monograph Seventeenth-Century Interior Decoration in England, France and Holland (1978).
This view derives primarily from Michel Foucault and his work in critical theory. In its tendency to see society as consisting of texts relating to other texts, with no'fixed' literary value above and beyond the way specific societies read them in specific situations, New Historicism also owes something to postmodernism.
