Sumario:This article aims at commenting on some works by the British critic and essayist Terry Eagleton. The following books have been selected: Against the grain: selected essays (1986), William Shakespeare (1986), The Ideology of the Aesthetic (1990), Ideology: an introduction (1991) and The Illusions of Postmodernism (1996). Our hypothesis is that this period represents a transition phase in both the form and content of Eagleton's work. Some previous theoretical assumptions are abandoned and others are reaffirmed or modified. I try to discuss the results of this process in cultural, historical and political terms.
