Synopsis
This classic work is designed to cover all of the major movements in literary studies in this century. Noted for its clear, engaging style and unpretentious treatment, Literary Theory has become the introduction of choice for anyone interested in learning about the world of contemporary literary thought. The second edition contains a major new survey chapter that addresses developments in cultural theory since the book's original publication in 1983, including feminist theory, postmodernism, and poststructuralism.

Literary Theory; An Introductionby Anonymous

July 01, 2003: Eagleton's book remains the most helpful, and the most witty and enjoyable, introduction to the study of literary theory around. First published a decade ago, it has lost none of its zest for debate and none of its clarity in describing some rather heavy issues and ideas. Highly recommended. I would not teach a course in literary theory without it.
