- Terry Eagleton,
Probably the most important cultural critic writing in English today . It can truly be said that nothing cultural is alien to him.
- Colin MacCabe,
Jameson's chef d'oeuvre, <i>Postmodernism, Or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism</i>, provides one of the more persuasive cognitive maps we have of the evolution of culture in the West in the period from the mid-twentieth century to the present day. His achievement is all the more notable in that he is by conviction a Marxist, hostile to Anglo-American empiricism, the anti-theoretical theory that reigns supreme today.
