In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Very Good. This wide-ranging book argues that criticism emerged in early bourgeois society as a central feature of a "public sphere" in which political, ethical, and literary judgements could mingle under the benign rule of reason. The disintegration of this fragile culture brought on a crisis in criticism, whose history since the 18th century has been fraught with ambivalence and anxiety. Eagleton's account embraces Addison and Steele, Johnson and the 19-century reviewers, such critics as Arnold and Stephen, the heyday of Scrutiny and New Criticism, and finally the proliferation of avant-garde literary theories such as deconstructionism. The Function of Criticism is nothing less than a history and critique of the "critical institution" itself. Eagleton's judgements on individual critics are sharp and illuminating, which his general argument raises crucial questions about the relations between language, literature and politics. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. How is it possible that modern criticism which was born of the struggle against the absolutist state could be reduced to its current status as part of the public relations branch of the literary industry. How is it that forms of criticism generated in the vibrant context of the eighteenth century public sphere of clubs journals coffee houses periodicals and which embraced free and open discussion of cultural political and economic questions could degenerate into post structuralist exercises carried out by academic literary specialists who revel in their own practical impotence. Exercised by these issues Terry Eagleton Britain's foremost Marxist critic traces the birth of criticism in enlightenment England and its subsequent mutations over time under the pressures of the development of capitalism the rise of a counter public from below and the specialization of the intellectual division of labour. In a magisterial survey of the last two hundred years of cultural criticism spanning from Joseph Addison Richard Steele and Samuel Johnson to Matthew Arnold Leslie Stephen and F.R. Leavis Eagleton firmly places the modern trends of new criticism structuralism and deconstruction in a social and historical perspective. However Eagleton also makes a powerful and passionate case for contemporary criticism to rediscover its original function by reconnecting the cultural and the political discourse and practice and thereby to play a role in radical social transformation. 108 pp.

Erstausgabe
In this incisive and witty study, Terry Eagleton traces the history of English literary criticism from its eighteenth-century origins in The Spectator to the rise of post-structuralist theory. He explores how criticism evolved alongside changing political and cultural contexts, questioning its social role and intellectual authority. A classic introduction to the politics of literary theory by one of the most influential Marxist critics of the twentieth century.
