One of our most brilliant minds offers a sweeping intellectual history that argues for the reclamation of culture's value. Culture is a defining aspect of what it means to be human. Defining culture and pinpointing its role in our lives is not, however, so straightforward. Terry Eagleton, one of our foremost literary and cultural critics, is uniquely poised to take on the challenge. In this analytical and acerbically funny book, he explores how culture and our conceptualizations of it have evolved over the last two centuries - from rarified sphere to humble practices, and from a bulwark against industrialism's encroaches to present-day capitalism's most profitable export.
