Should you (as Deane Galbraith did recently) wish to contact Tezza himself – now at the University of Lancaster – then you will eventually stumble on this page, where the following appears:
PLEASE NOTE: Terry Eagleton does not use email. If you wish to contact him please write to him at his departmental address: Professor Terry Eagleton, Department of English & Creative Writing, County College, Lancaster University, Lancaster LA1 4YD, UK.
However, being an inventive sort of chap and being too polite to contact Eagleton’s (fifth) wife, Deane chatted with his good friend, who suggested the following approach:
Creative writing? That’s pushing it a little, Tezza …

Now the big question is: who is the cute lamb in the centre? Roland, Terry or Dean?

I’ll leave that one for Deane to answer.

and I thought I was the only one who found that one attractive.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if, despite being unwilling or unable to use email, Eagz was a compulsive googler of himself?

I reckon it’s all just a Luddite front for an oldie who’s too scared of the new world. Actually, I wonder how tempted he is to comment – under a pseudonym.

Why, a Marxist Christian scared of the 21st century? Comrade Professor, I fear you are making sport of me.

He’s a member of the “Luddite front”? Splitter!

Splittism and veerism – the curse of Eagletonianism.

It’s the “wish you were here” that makes it art

Not a few English people have found that NZ (or at least the parts without too many Maoris) embody the myth of ‘merrie olde England’ that has now been trashed by all those dreadful foreigners – which in its own way might be called the revenge of the empire. So Eagz may well be tempted …

Sounds more like St Milbank’s thing – a respite from modernity, ‘irresponsible’ multiculturalism, and those insufferable 20 degree summer days.
6 June, 2011 at 9:47 pm
I’m surprised Eagleton and St M haven’t got together before now.

It would probably look like this.
(And he’s in good form in the Guardian today, he just needed some nu atheists to get stuck into.)

Granted that TE is not the first source one turns to when reflecting on Marxism or Christianity. But he does stick his neck above the parapet: he got riled when Manchester uni appointed the Islamophobe Martin Amis to a chair, and here is his satire on the UK’s new private uni to be headed by the egregious ‘moral philosopher’ AC Grayling:

I must admit I love these cranky pieces from Eagles.

Hello Prof. T. Eagleton,
I am a participant in the Jordanian philosophical Association and the socialist forum. I will give a lecture about your book ” The Illusion of Postmodernism”.
I have a weak and unclear Arabic translation for your book.Is it possible that you send me a broadened idea regarding it in English?
Your language seems a bit obscure to me and I will be thankful if you you can use a more common language.
Thanks very much in advance

Dear Professor Eagleton,
I am publishing a monograph on the prose and drama of Tom Mac Intyre and the publishers asked me to furnish them with names of potential reviewers for the monograph on Mac Intyre. Would you be interested?
Here is the link which provides details about the book:
