| Summary: | A student of Raymond Williams (1921-88) at Cambridge, Terry Eagleton (1943-) is one of the drivingforces in the great British tradition of materialist cultural criticism. Tributary to an oppositional line ofthought that links artistic production to the material conditions of society, the best examples of which inthe 19th century are John Ruskin and especially William Morris, this tradition had, in the troubled 1930sof this century, its first great moment of expansion. This was a decade saturated with politics, in which the"rumor of History" was heard with force, opening a space for the idea of engagement within the vision ofart as a unique expression of an individual's genius, predominant both in romanticism and in Englishmodernism. |
