Title: Dour Marxist Anti-American Screed
Review: Terry Eagleton is clearly bitter. Bitter about the status of America in the global community, bitter that his beloved Marxist dogma has been relegated to the rubbish bin of history. He does, however, have some perceptive things to say about the legacy of critical theory. What will replace theory as the new academic fad when theory finally vanishes from the intellectual horizon of the college English department? What will we read when Foucault, Derrida, Barthes and Althusser have been thoroughly debunked? Could it be...the source texts themselves?! Isn't that revolutionary?!! Someone might actually read...a novel! Or a poem! Oh, be still my beating heart!
