About this title

Synopsis:

Terry Eagleton examines and explicates in his celebrated polemical style the wide-ranging developments theoretical writing has undergone since his classic introduction first appeared more than ten years ago.

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."
