Marxism and Literary Criticism is the title of a book by literary critic and cultural theorist Terry Eagleton, first published in 1976.
The book defines Marxist criticism this way:
- "Marxist criticism is not merely a 'sociology of literature', concerned with how novels get published and whether they mention the working class. It's aim is to explain the literary work more fully; and this means a sensitive attention to its forms, styles and meanings. But it also means grasping those forms, styles and meanings as the product of a particular history."
