Terry Eagleton - 'Literary Theory: An Introduction' 

We’re reading Terry Eagleton’s Literary Theory right now in W371 right now. It’s been a tremendously wonderful help to understanding the chronology of critical practices. Great interview!

Sir Terry Eagleton is an asset!!! Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you very much for sharing this!

Doing theory with Terry is like navigating through the wildest forest of Theory as if we were on safari!

Although I'm not a big literary theory person, I've always enjoyed Eagleton's playful wit and this did not disappoint.

Professor John Schad was one of my teachers when I wss doing MA at Loughborough University. A great man and a well-read person. John stay blessed 😊 Khurram Mirza.

Hello, I am Rossy from Indonesia. your youtube is very interesting and useful. thanks

I am so glad to have found this video, Eagleton is such a cutie pie

what always strikes me is the non recognised beauty of Irish songs ,a line from" She mived through the fair" where a person is described as "one had a sorrow ,that never was said " We do not know this sorrow yet it haunts us . terry eagleton is the best slainte from Belfast

Gosh, I love this dude-he is a flaming hoot-his humor belies his rather stuffy,( Oxbridge(?) accent-I'm a financial analyst myself, but I would have enjoyed studying with this cat.-where ordinarily I wouldn't go within spitting distance of any Humanities faculty.

Agree or disagree with him, Eagleton is a Genius

"Certain literary works go to work on language in ways that generate the illusion of sensuous specificity." It's not an illusion. Everything is specific, even particular iterations of generic terms.

Am I watching Terry Eagleton now?

3:40 Hmmm. 1984.

It'd have been a perfect lesson if the audio was a lil' better😮

I did try try to understand why, as only a fool excludes without enquiry, but like so much in the humanities today, it just felt like much ado about nothing.

To much introduction, but when are you going to give a definition of what the literature is?
