Conventional criticism discusses Wordsworth's poetry in terms of what his writing might have meant then, around 1800. Antony Easthope writes about how we can read that poetry now, nearly 200 years on. His Wordsworth is produced by the ideologies of Romanticism but is also our contemporary, a poet to be read alongside today's popular culture (if Wordsworth has regrets about his past, so does Frank Sinatra). Professor Easthope draws on recent critical theory to show how Wordsworth's poetry works, how the love on Nature, sincere personal experience and telling the truth about yourself all come about as effects of language.

Conventional criticism discusses Wordsworth's poetry in terms of what his writing might have meant then, around 1800.

<p>French post-structuralism theory was transformed when taken up in England by the native Marxist tradition; it thus came to intervene across the whole field of the human sciences. Through this fresh exploration of the relation between Marxism, post-structuralism and the theory of the subject, Antony Easthope contrasts the degree to which post-structuralism has made a radical impact on English and American national cultures. The book reprints for the first time an important 1980 interview in which Jacques Derrida discusses the relations between Marxism and deconstruction. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of literary theory, cultural studies, film studies, feminist studies, sociology, history, art history and music.</p>
