Foucault and Literature - Towards a Geneaology of Writing (Paperback, New)

This book aims to provide a detailed introduction to the whole body of Foucault's work, with a particular emphasis on his literary theory. The author examines Foucault's early studies of "transgressive" writing from Sade and Artaud, to the French "new novelists" 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. This book should be of interest to students and lecturers of literary theory, literary criticism and cultural studies.
