To break the imagination of the romantic literary ideology for the aim of changing the form of the society is the basic aim of Terry Eagleton's literary ideal. 打破文學的自律性幻想，引入文化研究的思想，進而在深層次上突破資本主義社會的意識形態觀念是伊格爾頓文學觀的現實指向。
The origination and the development of the literary discourse, especially the form of the literature, are closely related to the historical and the social conditions. 在伊格爾頓看來，現代文學話語是一種意識形態話語體系，它的生成及轉變與西方社會和歷史的變化有著內在的社會關聯，這種關聯不是體現在文學內容上，而是體現在文學形式上。
