Professor John Schad was one of my teachers when I wss doing MA at Loughborough University. A great man and a well-read person. John stay blessed 😊 Khurram Mirza.
We’re reading Terry Eagleton’s Literary Theory right now in W371 right now. It’s been a tremendously wonderful help to understanding the chronology of critical practices. Great interview!
Gosh, I love this dude-he is a flaming hoot-his humor belies his rather stuffy,( Oxbridge(?) accent-I'm a financial analyst myself, but I would have enjoyed studying with this cat.-where ordinarily I wouldn't go within spitting distance of any Humanities faculty.

"Certain literary works go to work on language in ways that generate the illusion of sensuous specificity." It's not an illusion. Everything is specific, even particular iterations of generic terms.

It'd have been a perfect lesson if the audio was a lil' better😮
Thank you very much for sharing this!
I am so glad to have found this video, Eagleton is such a cutie pie
Doing theory with Terry is like navigating through the wildest forest of Theory as if we were on safari!
Although I'm not a big literary theory person, I've always enjoyed Eagleton's playful wit and this did not disappoint.
Sir Terry Eagleton is an asset!!!
Thank you for sharing this!
