'As the subtitle suggests, the goal of the book is not merely to contemplate Benjamin's approach to language, history and art, but to chart a dynamic new course for contemporary socialist criticism. Eagleton brushes Benjamin's Trauerspiel against seventeenth-century British literature, tests his concept of the "aura" against Freud and Lacan, and undertakes his most sustained engagement with Derrida and the political crossroads of deconstruction.' - excerpted from back cover.
