Eagleton\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMyths of Power - Anniversary Edition sets out to interpret the fiction of the Brontë sisters in light of a Marxist analysis of the historical conditions in which it was produced. Its aim is not merely to relate literary facts, but by a close critical examination of the novels, to find in them a significant structure of ideas and values which related to the Brontës' ambiguous situation within the class-system of their society. Its intention is to forge close relations between the novels, nineteenth-century ideology, and historical forces, in order to illuminate the novels themselves in a radically new perspective. When originally published in 1975 (second edition in 1988), it was the first full-length Marxist study of the Brontës and is now reissued to celebrate 30 years since its first publication. It includes a new Introduction by Terry Eagleton which reflects on the changes which have happened in Marxist literary criticism since 1988, and situates this reissue of the second edition in current debates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTERRY EAGLETON is the author of nearly thirty books, including \u003cem\u003eShakespeare and Society\u003c\/em\u003e (1967), \u003cem\u003eThe New Left Church\u003c\/em\u003e (1968), \u003cem\u003eExiles and Emigrés\u003c\/em\u003e (1970), \u003cem\u003eMyths of Power \u003c\/em\u003e(1975, second edition 1988), \u003cem\u003eMarxism and Literary Criticism\u003c\/em\u003e (1976), \u003cem\u003eLiterary Theory: An Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e (1983), \u003cem\u003eThe Function of Criticism\u003c\/em\u003e (1984), \u003cem\u003eThe Ideology of the Aesthetic \u003c\/em\u003e(1990), \u003cem\u003eThe Idea of Culture\u003c\/em\u003e (2000), a memoir - \u003cem\u003eThe Gatekeeper\u003c\/em\u003e (2002) - and his most recent, \u003cem\u003eAfter Theory\u003c\/em\u003e (2004).
