Review
"... it′s not just a brilliant polemical essay; it′s also a remarkable feat of condensation, explication and synthesis. I haven′t read anything in the field of literary theory that was at the same time so stimulating and so entertaining since the Polemical Introduction to Northrop Frye′s Anatomy of Criticism." David Lodge, Sunday Times
"Eagleton′s best work, a polemical, amusing and very informative introduction that will become an indepensable textbook." Jonathan Culler
"As much a goad as a guide, Terry Eagleton;s spirited introduction to literary theory has the sharp bite that only a trenchant and tough–minded argument can give... Eagleton′s brisk sceptical survey moves nimbly, using an admirably straightforward style. It is a brilliant, agile performance: urgent and racy, witty and combative, lucid and compelling." New Statesmen
From the Back Cover
Terry Eagleton′s classic Literary Theory has served as an inspiration to a whole generation of students and teachers.
Written in 1982, it appeared, as Professor Eagleton explains, at the watershed of two very different decades. It could not anticipate what was to come after, neither could it grasp what had happened in literary theory in the light of where it was to lead. In this new edition this dilemma is redressed and necessarily renewed.
With characteristic verve and humour, Professor Eagleton provides for a new generation of students an important retrospective, reviewing developments that have occurred since his book was first published – in feminist theory, post–structuralism, postmodernism, or broadly speaking, what is termed cultural theory.
