About this title: For more than thirty years, Fredric Jameson has been one of the most productive, wide-ranging, and distinctive literary theorists in the United States and the Anglophone world.

"The truth is that although Jameson writes difficult prose, Jameson is a great, even a dangerously great stylist--dangerous because he makes foolish ideas sound compelling. Here he combines truly starry-eyed, quasi-messianic-utopian Marxism with the high Yale mode of stuffy pronouncement in the name of good sense. This book might also be, along with the works of David "Sir David" Bromwich, the last monument of appreciative literary-criticism by reverent paraphrase. Anyway, the chapter on Adorno is good, there are good dialectical insights about the relation of literary form to historical development, and, despite the sickening spectacle of Jameson in 1971 citing the works of Mao Zedong and the events of the Cultural Revolution as model advances in social development, the book strikes me as relatively recuperable for a sane historicist literary theory, one that doesn't have to assert that the meaning of literary form is that the Revolution is coming."
"this book freaked me out. it not only looked like the satanic bible, but it was written in the convoluted, highly cryptic language made fashionable by structuralists. but the premise of the book, that the form of each genre is historically significant, is pretty awesome."
