Marxist Literary Theory BOOK College Reading Terry Eagleton Drew Milne UK Import

Description: About this productProduct InformationMarxist Literary Theory: A Reader is designed to give both students and lecturers a sense of the historical formation of a Marxist literary tradition. A unique compilation of principal texts in that tradition, it offers the reader new ways of reading Marxism, literature, theory, and the social possibilities of writing. The collection is introduced by both editors: Terry Eagleton, writing at the point of what he describes as "the most grievous crisis in Marxisms fraught career", surveys the evolution of Marxist criticism, and addresses the profoundly problematic question of Marxisms future, especially as seen in the controversial light of postmodern theory. Drew Milne contributes a key essay on "Reading Marxist Literary Theory", exploring in the process the complex relations between Marxs writings and Marxism. Represented in this reader are: Theodor W. Adorno, Louis Althusser, Aijaz Ahmad, Chida Amuta, Etienne Balibar and Pierre Macherey, Roland Barthes, Walter Benjamin, Ernest Bloch, Bertolt Brecht, Alex Callinicos, Christopher Caudwell, Terry Eagleton, Friedrich Engels, Lucien Goldmann, Fredric Jameson, V. I. Lenin, Georg Lukacs, Karl Marx, The Marxist-Feminist Collective, Jean-Paul Sartre, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Leon Trotsky, V. N. Volsinov, Galvano Della Volpe, Alick West, and Raymond Williams.Product IdentifiersPublisherWileyISBN-10063118581xISBN-139780631185819eBay Product ID (ePID)545337Product Key FeaturesFormatTrade PaperbackPublication Year1996LanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight26 OzWidth6.5in.Height0.9in.Length9.1in.Additional Product FeaturesDewey Edition20Table of ContentIntroduction.
