| Summary: | Thisis a thoroughly enjoyable and vital examination of the British literary critic and theorist Terry Eagleton, one of the more significant, provocative and elastic academics of our day. With his desultory moves between popular and scholarly publishing, as well as his shift from post-structuralism to metaphysical and even theological concerns, Eagleton has become a figure of great interest and influence, if also incongruities. Smith nimbly traces the influences, context, themes and larger questions surrounding Eagleton's extensive oeuvre while providing astute analyses of the twists and returns in Eagleton's ideas. |
