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!

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.

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 .

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.

[@Gandan0792]

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.

[@PaulX41]

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