{"product_id":"criticism-and-ideology-isbn-9781844670802","title":"Criticism and Ideology","description":"Terry Eagleton is one of the most important—and most radical—theorists writing today. His witty and acerbic attacks on contemporary culture and society are read and enjoyed by many, and his studies of literature are regarded as classics of contemporary criticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this new edition of his groundbreaking treatise on literary theory, Eagleton seeks to develop a sophisticated relationship between Marxism and literary criticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRanging across the key works of Raymond Williams, Lenin, Trotsky, Brecht, Adorno, Benjamin, Lukacs and Sartre, he develops a nuanced critique of traditional literary criticism while producing a compelling theoretical account of ideology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEagleton uses this perspective to offer fascinating analyses of canonical writers, including George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce and D.H. Lawrence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new introduction sets this classic book in the context of its first appearance and Eagleton provides illuminating reflections on the progress of literary study over the years.“The author’s most remarkable volume.”—\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Eagleton is second to none among cultural critics writing in the English language today.”—\u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Eagleton is a combative, fiercely articulate and witty Marxist literary critic.”—\u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Eagleton is informative, witty and wise.”—\u003ci\u003eTimes Higher Education Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Genuinely illuminating.”—\u003ci\u003eTime Out\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerry Eagleton\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Cultural Theory and John Rylands Fellow, University of Manchester.
