Summary:
First published in 1983 with significant revision in 1996, Terry Eagleton's Literary Theory: An Introduction remains a seminal guide to major literary theories—from structuralism and psychoanalysis to Marxism, feminism, and post structuralism. This 25th anniversary edition incorporates a new foreword reflecting on the institutionalization of literary theory and the rise of “anti theory.” Eagleton’s writing is clear, engaging, and often humorous, making complex ideas accessible to undergraduates. The book continues to serve as both an introduction and a critical commentary on how literary theory has shaped academic discourse and cultural debates.
