A Review of Terry Eagleton's Critical Revolutionaries:Five Critics Who Changed the Way We Read
The review examines three central themes in Terry Eagleton's Critical Revolutionaries:the tension with academic establishments,a project for a more materialist,objective set of aesthetics,and a push for criticism grounded in intellectual sincerity and embodiment.It explores Eagleton's dialogue not only with his own extensive body of work but also within the broader discourse of the past decade on the ethics of literary criticism,particularly in relation to Joseph North's Literary Criticism:A Concise Political History.The review suggests that Eagleton's book champions a type of critical discourse capable of transcending the repetitive and mutually-reinforcing nature of academic echo chambers.Additionally,it implies that the manner in which the five figures and their critical activities are choreographed reveals a desire to revive a significant critical tradition:an endeavor where words and practice validate each other.
