ISBN: 0826463282 ISBN-13: 9780826463289 Publisher: T&T Clark OUR PRICE: $148.50 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: October 2003 Annotation: This is the first large-scale critical introduction for biblical criticism of a significant area of contemporary cultural and literary theory, namely Marxist literary criticism. The book comprises studies of major figures in the tradition, specifically Althusser, Gramsci, Eagleton, Adorno, Benjamin, Bloch, Lefebvre, Lukacs and Jameson. At the same time, through careful choice of critics, the book will function as a general introduction to Marxist literary theory as a whole in relation to biblical studies. Throughout, the aim is to show how this material is relevant to biblical criticism, in terms of both particular approaches to the Bible and the use of those approaches for interpreting selected texts from Genesis, Exodus, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Psalms and Daniel. |
