Description
Key texts from the leading theorists in postwar French literary criticism. In Literary Debate, the second volume in the Series, editors Denis Hollier and Jeffrey Mehlman present a selection of texts, many available in English for the first time, that together offer an illuminating and provocative overview of French literary criticism, its revolutions and obsessions, institutions and interpretations. To expose the often divergent perspectives animating responses to the question "What is literature?", Literary Debate combines examinations of literature as an institution and in historical context with pathbreaking interpretations of work by such authors as Mallarm and Freud. Including major original essays by the editors, this volume brings together the important threads of one of the most influential movements in Western intellectual history. The series will include future volumes on classical antiquity (edited by Nicole Loraux, Gregory Nagy, and Laura Slatkin) and philosophy (edited by Etienne Balibar and John Rajchman). Featuring work by: Jean-Paul Sartre Simone de Beauvoir Roland Barthes Ren Girard Jean Beaufret Jacques Derrida Julia Kristeva Charles Mauron Gilles Deleuze Michel Foucault Marguerite Duras Assia Djebar Marc Fumaroli and others
