This is the first book-length account of the foremost marxist cultural theorist of our time. Alderson provides detailed discussions of Eagleton's marxism and his engagements with postmodernism, as well as an evaluation of his interventions in Irish Studies. The complex relations between nature, culture and ideology, body, subjectivity and authority are shown to be at the heart of Eagleton's ethical and political concerns, and to inform his critical examinations of such literary works as 'Wuthering Heights' and 'The Merchant of Venice', and the figures of W. B. Yeats and Oscar Wilde.

"The belief of many in the early sexual liberation movements was that capitalism's investments in the in the norms of the heterosexual family meant that any challenge to them was invariably anti-capitalist. In recent years, however, lesbian and gay subcultures have become increasingly mainstream and commercialized - as seen, for example, in corporate backing for pride events - -while the initial radicalism of sexual liberation has given way to relatively conservative goals over marriage and adoption rights. Meanwhile, queer theory has critiqued this "homonormativity," or assimilation, as if some act of betrayal had occurred. In this work, the author seeks to account for these shifts in both queer movements and the wider society, and argues powerfully for a distinctive theoretical framework. Through a critical reassessment of the work of Herbert Marcuse, as well as the cultural theorists Raymond Williams and Alan Sinfield, the author asks whether capitalism is progressive for queers, evaluates the distinctive radicalism of the counterculture as it has mutated into queer and distinguishes between avant-garde protest and subcultural development. In doing so, the book offers new directions for thinking about sexuality and its relations to the broader project of human liberation." --
