Terry Eagleton

A history and critique of the last 200 years of cultural criticism, form Addison and Steele to Barthes and Derrida, by Britains most stylish critic.

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.

Eagletons 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.
