A more inclusive view of a Marxist approach to literature than one which merely opposes it to other known theories, is proposed. A Marxist approach to literature includes, amongst others, a critique of ideology, which unmasks the ways in which bourgeois ideology maintains itself. It also offers an explanatory model for understanding literary phenomena in terms of their relations to the rest of society. A Marxist approach entails, moreover, not merely academic analysis but also the practice of changing society. A dialectical approach is proposed in terms of which Marxism is not elevated to dogma. The Marxist approach put forward here is not one which prescribes to writers and theoreticians. It poses challenges, however, and because of the problems it focuses upon, one could expect it to play a key role in this country during its process of change
