Ideology has never before been so much in evidence as a fact and so littleunderstood as a concept as it is today. In this now classic work, originallywritten for both newcomers to the topic and for those already familiar with thedebate, Terry Eagleton unravels the many different definitions of ideology, andexplores the concept's torturous history from the Enlightenment topostmodernism. The book provides lucid accounts of the thought of key Marxist thinkers, aswell as of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Freud and the various post-structuralists.Now updated in the light of current theoretical debates, this essential text byone of our most important contemporary critics clarifies a notoriously confusedsubject. Ideology is core reading for students and teachers of literatureand politics.
