Marxism and Literary Criticism by Terry Eagleton
3.0
3.5/5
A quick, informative read about Marxist criticism in literature. Significantly more informative than the Marxist chapters from introductory textbooks like Tyson's Critical Theory Today or Selden's A Reader's Guide. It's surprisingly easy to read too, took me just two or three sittings to get through, which is unusual with academic texts this long. Though I have to say, I wish it was more focused on the literary criticism part instead of explaining the history of Marxism itself, but still, not really a big deal.
