Abstract

Terry Eagleton is a British literary critic working in the Marxist tradition. His writing has covered a very broad range of topics, including literary theory, Marxism, nineteenth‐century literature, and Irish culture. He was a fellow at both Cambridge and Oxford before moving to Manchester University in 2004. Eagleton was born in 1943 and studied at Trinity College, Cambridge. While there, he was a student of another renowned British Marxist, Raymond Williams. Eagleton belongs to the same New Left tradition of English literary Marxist studies, although bringing to it the theoretical concerns of Continental thinkers such as Jacques Lacan and Louis Althusser.
