Fredric Jameson is one of the most provocative and influential cultural critics of our age. Analyzing and historicizing cultural phenomena, he weaves together some of the most powerful critical paradigms, including Marxism, psychoanalysis, and poststructuralism, into an original and systematic vision of the contemporary world.

The Jameson Reader, which presents essays and excerpts from the broad spectrum of his writings, will be useful for both initiates and veteran readers of his work.

For those who are new to Jameson, the Reader will provide an accessible introduction to the intricacies of his thought. Those familiar with Jameson will not only find a convenient collection of important essays, but will also inevitably discover new and exciting aspects of his work. The generous coverage given to seminal texts, such as The Political Unconscious and Postmodernism, or The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism, is complemented by ample attention to lesser-known works. In addition, the editors' opening essay explores Jameson's project as a whole.

The Jameson Reader will be of interest to students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences, and to anyone who wishes to gain an insight into the work of this important cultural thinker.
