Terry Eagleton

Terence Francis "Terry" Eagleton FBA[1] (born 22

February 1943)[1] is a prominent British literary theorist,

critic and public intellectual.[5][6][7][8] He is currently Dis-

tinguished Professor of English Literature at Lancaster

University, Professor of Cultural Theory at the National

University of Ireland and Distinguished Visiting Pro-

fessor of English Literature at The University of Notre

Dame.[9]

Eagleton has published over forty books, but remains

best known for Literary Theory: An Introduction (1983),

which has sold over 750,000 copies.[10] The work eluci-dated the emerging literary theory of the period. He has

also been a prominent critic of postmodernism, publish-

ing works such as The Illusions of Postmodernism (1996).

Formerly the Thomas Warton Professor of English Liter-

ature at the University of Oxford (1992–2001) and John

Edward Taylor Professor of Cultural Theory at the Uni-

versity of Manchester (2001–2008), Eagleton has held

visiting appointments at universities around the world in-

cluding Cornell, Duke, Iowa, Melbourne, Trinity College

in Dublin, and Yale.[11]

Eagleton delivered Yale University's 2008 Terry Lectures

and the 2010 Edinburgh Gifford Lecture entitled The God Debate.[12] He gave the 2010 Richard Price MemorialLecture at Newington Green Unitarian Church, speak-

ing on “The New Atheism and the War on Terror”.[13] In

2009 he published a book which accompanied his lec-

tures on religion, entitled Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate.

1 Early life

Eagleton was born to Francis Paul Eagleton and his wife,Rosaleen (née Riley).[14] He grew up in a working-class

Irish Catholic family in Salford, withrootsin County Gal-

way. His mother’s side of the family had strong Irish re-

publican sympathies. He served as an altar boy at a local

Carmelite convent where he was responsible for escort-

ing novice nuns taking their vows, a role referred to in

the title of his memoir The Gatekeeper .[15]

2 Education and academia

He was educated at De La Salle College, a RomanCatholic grammar school in Salford.[3] In 1961 he went to

read English at Trinity College, Cambridge from where

he graduated with a First.[4] He later described his un-

dergraduate experience as a “waste of time”.[3] In 1964,

he moved to Jesus College, Cambridge, where as a ju-

nior research fellow and doctoral student, he became

the youngest fellow at the college since the eighteenth

century.[11] He was supervised by Raymond Williams.[4]

It was during this period that his leftist convictions be-

gan to take hold, and he edited a radical Catholic leftist

periodical called Slant .[4]

In 1969 he moved to Oxford where he became a fellow

and tutor of Wadham College (1969–1989), Linacre Col-lege (1989–1993) and St Catherine’s College, becoming

Thomas Warton Professor of English in 1992. At Wad-

ham, Eagleton ran a well-known seminar on Marxist lit-

erary theory which, in the 1980s, metamorphosed into

the radical pressure group Oxford English Limited and its

journal News from Nowhere: Journal of the Oxford En- glish Faculty Opposition, to which he contributed severalpieces. In 2001 Eagleton left Oxford to occupy the John

Edward Taylor chair of Cultural Theory at the University

of Manchester.

3 Career

He began his literary studies with the 19th and 20th cen-

turies, then conformed to the stringent academic Marx-

ism of the 1970s. He then published an attack on his

mentor Williams’s relation to the Marxist tradition in the

pages of the New Left Review, in the mode of the Frenchcritic Louis Althusser. In the 1960s, he became involved

with the left-wing Catholic group Slant , authoring a num-ber of theological articles (including A Marxist Interpre-tation of Benediction), as well as a book Towards a New

Left Theology.

3.1 Literary Theory

Literary Theory: an Introduction (1983, revised 1996),probably his best-known work, traces the history of the

study of texts, from the Romantics of the nineteenth cen-

tury to the postmodernists of the later twentieth cen-

tury. Eagleton’s approach to literary criticism remains

firmly rooted in the Marxian tradition though he has

also incorporated techniques and ideas from more re-

cent modes of thought as structuralism, Lacanian anal-ysis, and deconstruction. As his memoir The Gatekeeper recounts, Eagleton’s Marxism has never been solely an

2 4 CRITICISM OF MARTIN AND KINGSLEY AMIS

academic pursuit. He was active in the International So-

cialists (along with Christopher Hitchens) and then the

Workers’ Socialist League whilst in Oxford. He is a reg-

ular contributor to the London Review of Books.

After Theory (2003) represents a kind of about-face: an

indictment of current cultural and literary theory, andwhat Eagleton regards as the bastardisation of both. He

does not conclude that the interdisciplinary study of liter-

ature and culture that comprises Theory is without merit.

He argues that such a merging is effective in opening cul-

tural study to a wider range of significant topics. His in-

dictment instead centres on “relativism”—theorists’ and

postmodernity’s rejection of absolutes. He concludes that

an absolute does exist: Every person lives in a body that

cannot be owned because nothing was done to acquire it,

and nothing (besides suicide) can be done to be rid of it.

Our bodies and their subsequent deaths provide the abso-

lute around which humankind can focus its actions.

3.2 Dawkins, Hitchens and the New Athe-

ism

Eagleton has become a vocal critic of what has been

called the New Atheism. In October 2006, he published

a review of Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion in theLondon Review of Books. Eagleton begins by question-ing Dawkins’s methodology and understanding: “Imag-

ine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowl-

edge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you

have a rough idea of what it feels like to read RichardDawkins on theology”. Eagleton further writes, “Nor

does [Dawkins] understand that because God is transcen-

dent of us (which is another way of saying that he did

not have to bring us about), he is free of any neurotic

need for us and wants simply to be allowed to love us.”[16]

He concludes by suggesting Dawkins has not been at-

tacking organised faith so much as a sort of rhetorical

straw man: “Apart from the occasional perfunctory ges-

ture to 'sophisticated' religious believers, Dawkins tends

to see religion and fundamentalist religion as one and the

same. This is not only grotesquely false; it is also a de-

vice to outflank any more reflective kind of faith by im-

plying that it belongs to the coterie and not to the mass.

The huge numbers of believers who hold something like

the theology I outlined above can thus be conveniently

lumped with rednecks who murder abortionists and ma-

lign homosexuals.”[17]

3.2.1 Terry and Gifford Lectures

In April 2008 Eagleton delivered Yale University's Terry

Lectures with the title of his subject being, Faith and Fun-damentalism: Is belief in Richard Dawkins necessary for

salvation? constituting a continuation of the critique hehad begun in The London Review of Books. Introducinghis first lecture with an admission of ignorance of both

theology and science Eagleton goes on to affirm, “All I

can claim in this respect, alas, is that I think I may know

just about enough theology to be able to spot when some-

one like Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens—a

couplet I shall henceforth reduce for convenience to the

solitary signifier Ditchkins—is talking out of the back of

his neck.”[18][19] His “Terry Lectures” were published in2009, in Reason, Faith, and Revolution.

3.3 Football

Eagleton sees football as a new opium of the people dis-

tracting ordinary people from the type of social change

Eagleton wants. Eagleton looks pessimistic as to whether

this distraction can be ended.

4 Criticism of Martin and KingsleyAmis

Eagleton in 2012

In late 2007, a critique of Martin Amis included in the

introduction to a 2007 edition of Eagleton’s book Ideol-ogy was widely reprinted in the British press. In it, Ea-gleton took issue with Amis’ widely quoted writings on

"Islamism", directing particular attention to one specific

passage from an interview with Ginny Dougary publishedin the Times on 9 September 2006.

What can we do to raise the price of them

doing this? There’s a definite urge – don't you

have it? – to say, 'The Muslim community

will have to suffer until it gets its house in or-

der.' What sort of suffering? Not letting them

travel. Deportation – further down the road.

Curtailing of freedoms. Strip-searching peo-

ple who look like they're from the Middle East

or from Pakistan ... Discriminatory stuff, un-

til it hurts the whole community and they startgetting tough with their children ... It’s a huge

dereliction on their part.[21]

Eagleton criticised Amis and expressed surprise as to

its source, stating: "[these are] not the ramblings of aBritish National Party thug ... but the reflections of Mar-tin Amis, leading luminary of the English metropolitan lit-erary world.” He drew a connection between Amis andhis father (the novelist Kingsley Amis). Eagleton went

on to write that Martin Amis had learned more fromhis father – whom Eagleton described as a reactionary

“racist, anti-Semitic boor, a drink-sodden, self-hating re-viler of women, gays and liberals” – than merely “how toturn a shapely phrase.” Eagleton added there was “some-thing rather stomach-churning at the sight of those such asAmis and his political allies, champions of a civilisationthat for centuries has wreaked untold carnage throughout the world, shrieking for illegal measures when they find themselves for the first time on the sticky end of the sametreatment.” [22]

The essay became a cause célèbre in British literary cir-

cles. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, a commentator for The In-dependent , wrote an article[23] about the affair, to whichAmis responded via open letter, calling Eagleton an ide-ological relict ... unable to get out of bed in the morn-ing without the dual guidance of God and Karl Marx. [24]

Amis said the views Eagleton attributed to him as his con-

sidered opinion was in fact his spoken description of a

tempting urge, in relation to the need to “raise the price” of terrorist actions. Eagleton’s personal comments on

Kingsley Amis prompted a further response from Kings-

ley’s widow, the novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard. Howard

wrote to The Daily Telegraph, noting that for a supposed

“anti-semitic homophobe” , it was peculiar that the onlyguests at the Howard-Amis nuptials were either Jewishor gay.[25] As Howard explained, “Kingsley was never aracist, nor an anti-Semitic boor. Our four great friendswho witnessed our wedding were three Jews and one ho-mosexual.” In a later interview, Howard added: I havenever even heard of this man Eagleton. But he seems tobe a rather lethal combination of a Roman Catholic and a Marxist ... He strikes me as like a spitting cobra: if you get within his range he'll unleash some poison.[26] ColinHoward, Lady Elizabeth Howard’s homosexual brother,

called Prof Eagleton “a little squirt”, adding that Sir

Kingsley, far from being homophobic, had extended an

affectionate friendship to him and helped him come to

terms with his sexuality.[25]

Eagleton defended his comments about Martin and

Kingsley Amis in The Guardian, claiming the main boneof contention – the substance of Amis’ remarks and views

– had been lost amid the media furore.[22]

5 Critical reactions

William Deresiewicz wrote of After Theory, Eagleton’s

book, as follows:

"[I]s it that hard to explain what Eagleton’s

up to? The prolificness, the self-plagiarism,

the snappy, highly consumable prose and, of

course, the sales figures: Eagleton wishes for

capitalism’s demise, but as long as it’s here, he

plans to do as well as he can out of it. Someone

who owns three homes shouldn't be preaching

self-sacrifice, and someone whose careerism atOxbridge was legendary shouldn't be telling in-

terviewers of his longstanding regret at having

turned down a job at the Open University.”[27]

Novelist and critic David Lodge, writing in the May 2004

New York Review of Books on Theory and After Theory,concluded:

Some of Theory’s achievements are genuine

and permanent additions to knowledge, or in-

tellectual self-knowledge. Eagleton is quite

right to assert that we can never go back to a

state of pre-Theory innocence about the trans-

parency of language or the ideological neutral-

ity of interpretation ... But like all fashions

it was bound to have a limited life of novelty

and vitality, and we are now living through its

decadence without any clear indication of what

will supersede it. Theory has, in short, become

boringly predictable to many people who were

once enthusiastic about it, and that After The-ory is most interesting when its focus is furthestfrom its nominal subject is perhaps evidence

that Terry Eagleton is now bored by it too.[28]

6 Family

Eagleton is married to his second wife, an American aca-

demic, Willa Murphy, with whom he has a son. The cou-

ple live in Dublin, but own homes in Manchester, where

Eagleton teaches, and in County Londonderry, where

Murphy is a lecturer at Northern Ireland’s University of

Ulster. Eagleton has two other sons by his first marriage,

which ended in 1976 after ten years.[5]
