- Essays on structuralism, Marxism and the politics of literary interpretation, written across Jameson's career.
- Is this a new edition with added material?
- It is the 2008 Verso paperback reissue of the collected essays, not a newly annotated edition.
- Who is it for?
- Graduate students and serious readers of literary and cultural theory who want Jameson's essays together.
