MARXISM

Marxist criticism is very complex and its tenets are numerous. To break it down a bit, there are a few Marxist ideas that are relatively easy to identify. Some key words and ideas that Marxist critics concentrate on are economics and class relationships. Buzzwords may include, but are not limited to, dialectics, materialism, bourgeoisie, and proletariat.


Major Critics: Georg Lukacs, Walter Benjamin, Terry Eagleton
