On 26 August 1974, Michel Foucault completed work on Discipline and
Punish, and on that very same day began writing the first volume of
The History of Sexuality. A little under ten years later, on 25
June 1984, shortly after the second and third volumes were
published, he was dead. This decade is one of the most fascinating
of his career. It begins with the initiation of the sexuality
project, and ends with its enforced and premature closure. Yet in
1974 he had something very different in mind for The History of
Sexuality than the way things were left in 1984. Foucault
originally planned a thematically organised series of six volumes,
but wrote little of what he promised and published none of them.
Instead over the course of the next decade he took his work in very
different directions, studying, lecturing and writing about
historical periods stretching back to antiquity. This book offers a
detailed intellectual history of both the abandoned thematic
project and the more properly historical version left incomplete at
his death. It draws on all Foucault s writings in this period, his
courses at the College de France and lectures elsewhere, as well as
material archived in France and California to provide a
comprehensive overview and synthetic account of Foucault s last
decade.
