Thompson, J: Studies in the Theory of Ideology

"I regard this work as of the highest importance. Thompson has an awesome knowledge of the treatments of the question of ideology and of the theoretical literature that is relevant to a discussion of that problem. HIs expositions are clear and evenhanded, both sympathetic to the author's projects and constructively critical . . . This book is the finest treatment I know of the religion of recent linguistic and social theory to the question of ideology." --Mark Poster, University of California
