The writings of the French historian, literary critic and
philosopher Michel Foucault have been of immense importance to
developments in literary studies since the late 1970s. He, more
than anyone, stands behind the new historicism' and cultural
materialism' that currently dominate international literary
studies. Simon During provides a detailed introduction to the whole
body of Foucault's work, with a particular emphasis on his literary
theory. His study takes in Foucault's early studies of
transgressive' writing from Sade and Artaud to the French new
novellists' of the 1960s, and his later concern with the genealogy
of the author/intellectual, writing and theorizing within specific,
historical mechanisms of social control and production. Foucault
and Literature offers a critique both of Foucault and of the
literary studies that have been influenced by him, and goes on to
develop new methods of post-Foucauldian literary/cultural analysis.
