Critics praise Eagleton's work for its wit and insight, highlighting its success in making poetry accessible and meaningful. Notes and Queries lauds the pleasure his approach brings to readers, while Bernard O'Donoghue of Oxford calls it an indispensable defence of poetry today. John Redmond from Liverpool University emphasises Eagleton’s energetic and witty demonstration that close reading and theory are complementary.
