Is this literary theory?

Not as "thrilling" as this find, but I was quite animated when I uncovered this Terry Eagleton signed copy of Literary Theory. The big news here in the English department is that a revered professor, who can't be much older than 40, is leaving his tenured position to live in a monastery near San Francisco. He's giving away all his belongings and sent out an e-mail to grad students bequeathing away his personal library. I snatched up the complete Alexander Pope (his specialty), Richardson's Clarissa, The Norton Anthology of World Literature, Terry Eagleton's Literary Theory, and the best grammar book ever written: The Transitive Vampire. So who is Terry Eagleton, you say? Well, in literary studies, he's one of the few really big swinging dicks.

This is Terry doing his best John Adams.
