About This Book
"In this study Moyra Haslett argues that marxist literary and cultural theories are more diverse than is conventionally thought, drawing upon the work of a wide range of marxist thinkers. She discusses the works of those who sought to theorize the relationships between literature and culture and between culture and ideology, including Volosinov, Lukacs, Jameson, and Fagleton.
The second section of the book looks at marxist readings of three very different topics: the work of the eighteenth-century poet Mary Leapor, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the film versions of Jane Austen's novels made in the 1990s. Haslett ably demonstrates that marxist readings have continuing relevance and great creative potential."--BOOK JACKET.
