I am looking for a variety of Leftist critics who critique Terry Eagelton's views on Marxism. They can come from any tendency but primarily I am interested in how his thought divulges from "orthodoxy". Links to article and papers would be much appreciated.

I'm not aware of any. Most of his work is exegetical -- his writing on Marx is in many ways very orthodox. There may be some from silly sect or folks with personal vendettas, but haven't come across them.

Good luck finding this. Eagleton is more a literary theorist than a Marxist social theorist, so most of the criticisms you'll find of his work will probably be from other literary studies people whining about how Eagleton is a Marxist instead of a postmodernist, rather than from Marxists talking about how Eagleton gets Marx wrong on this or that point of interpretation.
