The Function of Criticism by Terry Eagleton

4.0

This isn't an easy read but a worthwile one. Eagleton survey's criticism's development from the 18th century to today, marking the ideological development of criticism along with the material development of the times. Although he doesn't mention Marx that often, his arguments are soaked in Marxism, something I do find delightful in cultural theory.
