Overview
Thirty-two essays, extracts, and reviews by such luminaries as Maurice Blanchot, Phillipe Sollers, Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, Alain Robbe-Grillet, and Michel Foucault address the French reception of Roland Barthes (1915-80) during the fifties, from 1965-1980, and after he died. Barthes's Anglo-American reception includes essays by Barbara Johnson, Jane Gallop, and Jonathan Culler, while Barthes's aesthetics are addressed by theorists like Naomi Schor and Trinh T. Minh-Ha. The "Incidental Barthes" closes the collection with two offerings by Phillipe Roger and Michael Sheringham. Twenty-two of these pieces originally appeared in French, and 15 are translated into English for the first time. Knight is professor of French, University of Nottingham. Annotation c.
