Publisher's Synopsis

In this characteristically concise, witty, and lucid book, Terry Eagleton turns his attention to the questions we should ask about literature, but rarely do. What is literature? Can we even speak of 'literature' at all? What do different literary theories tell us about what texts mean and do?
