Editorial Reviews
Review
“Fredric Jameson is America’s leading Marxist critic, a prodigiously energetic thinker whose writings sweep magisterially from Sophocles to science fiction. . . . Postmodernism is an intellectual blockbuster.”
--Terry Eagleton, The Irish Times

“For anybody hoping to understand not just the cultural but the political and social implications of postmodernism . . . Jameson’s book is a fundamental, nonpareil text.”
--Gilbert Adair, Sunday Times (London)

“The scope and profundity of Postmodernism, covering theory, architecture, film, video, and economics, is truly staggering. . . . Brilliant . . .”
--Siauddin Sardar, The Independent (London)

“No one theorist illustrates the recent history of postmodernism’s history so well as Fredric Jameson.”
--Michael Bérubé, Voice Literary Supplement

“An encyclopedic grasp of modern culture.”
--Stuart Hall, Marxism Today

“A classic of late 20th-century Euroamerican critical thought.”
--Ned Lukacher, Choice

Product Description
Now in paperback, Fredric Jameson’s most wide-ranging work seeks to crystalize a definition of “postmodernism.” Jameson’s inquiry looks at the postmodern across a wide landscape, from “high” art to “low,” from market ideology to architecture, from painting to “punk” film, from video art to literature.
