This new collection of previously unpublished critical essays covers the full corpus of Jameson's work: from his initial studies of Sartre and dialectical criticism, through his path-breaking work on the political unconscious, modernism and postmodernism, to his controversial essays on third world literature, space, architecture and Latin American studies."--Publisher description.
