Re: Request for Help

I am using a text entitled Critical Theory Today, ed Lois Tyson, isbn
0815328796 in a graduate level course on criticism. The whole book is great
and is written in clear manner that would be accessible to undergrads. The
chapter on Marxism is great, as are all the rest--it gives a lot of good
basic examples that could help get them started and gives a Marxist critique
of The Great Gatsby.  A tad off subject, but it could still be useful.
