Well, I agree with you about us being the poorer without the Inklings et al, but I don't mind Eagleton. I think some of his ideas are wrongheaded to say the least, but he's got a hundred times more brains, bowels & etc than the bulk of people writing in literary criticism or purporting to be public intellectuals these days.

Oh, for the days of Eliot, Sayers, and various Inklings! Criticism, like thought, has become uttterly rubbishing these days.
