In his new intervention on cultural theory, Eagleton argues that the age of "high" theory has come to a close, and offers a candid assessment of its gains and losses, claiming that it has been silent or evasive about a whole range of vital topics such as love, evil, death, morality, metaphysics, religion and revolution. The book investigates these subjects in accessible, entertaining style, concluding with the dramatic suggestion that postmodernism might now be at an end.
