Description: "In this book, the term "critical theory" has a double meaning. Author George Snedeker refers to both the work of the Frankfurt School and other neo-Marxist social theorists as well as to recent work in literary criticism. Using critical theory, Snedeker explores the continuing relevance of new Marxist social and political theory. He evaluates the contributions to contemporary social theory by the main figures in Western Marxism, as well as those by Georg Lukacs, Edward W. Said, Raymond Williams, Jurgen Habermas, and Oliver C. Cox."--BOOK JACKET.
