Adam Roberts 
Fredric Jameson 

An invaluable introduction to the life and work of one of today’s most important cultural critics. Studied on most undergraduate literary and cultural studies courses, Fredric Jameson’s writing targets subjects from architecture to science fiction, cinema to global capitalism. Of his works, The Political Unconscious remains one of the most widely cited Marxist literary-theoretical texts, and ’Postmodernism, or the cultural logic of late capitalism’, is amongst the most influential statements on the nature of post-modernity ever published. Adam Roberts offers an `ngaging introduction to this crucial figure, which will convince any student of contemporary theory that Jameson must be read.
