Abstract
Abstract Taking up what was foreshadowed in last year’s instalment of ‘Theory on Theory’, this chapter takes as its theme the evident and disturbing trend within our field to forget, if not actively attempt to erase, Marxist and dialectical thought. The first section notices this tendency in the course of its wider review of a major new reference work, the Oxford Encyclopedia of Literary Theory. The second section notices another manifestation of the tendency in the course of reviewing a significant new work of metatheoretical reflection and critique, Elizabeth Anker’s On Paradox. In the third and final section, a cluster of works are reviewed that show the range and ongoing vitality of dialectical thought.
