Roland Barthes, whose centenary falls in 2015, was a restless,
protean thinker. A constant innovator, often as a daring smuggler
of ideas from one discipline to another, he first gained an
audience with his pithy essays on mass culture and then went on to
produce some of the most suggestive and stimulating cultural
criticism of the late twentieth century, including Empire of Signs,
The Pleasure of the Text, and Camera Lucida. In 1976, this one time
structuralist outsider was elected to a chair at France's
preeminent College de France, where he chose to style himself as
professor of literary semiology until his death in 1980. The
greater part of Barthes's published writings have been available to
a French audience since 2002, but here, translator Chris Turner
presents a collection of essays, interviews, prefaces, book
reviews, and other journalistic material for the first time in
English. Divided into five themed volumes, readers are presented in
volume one, 'A Very Fine Gift' and Other Writings on Theory, with
Barthes's attempts to frame his lifelong curiosities in theoretical
form, from his early musings on the sociology of literature through
his high period of structuralism to his later reflections on
Derrida.
