Heathcliff and the Great Hunger Avis
[Heathcliff and the Great Hunger] is not merely a series of studies on Irish culture, but one of the most noteworthy contributions to it in recent times. * London Review of Books *
Absorbing and original * Sunday Telegraph *
Absorbing and original. * Sunday Telegraph *
Erudite and ingenious. * Spectator *
Provoking in the best sense, and written with wit, passion, sophistication and brio a brilliant tour de force. * Independent *
Terry Eagleton has not just produced an impressive cultural history or reunited the literary and the political, he has provided a frame through which Britain and Ireland can re-vision a shared and savage past. In doing so, Eagleton has confirmed his standing as second to none among cultural critics writing in the English language today. * Guardian *
This is Eagleton at his best: lucid, original and witty. * Times Literary Supplement *
