Abigail Bray offers a lucid and accessible introduction to Helene Cixous and her theorisation of writing and sexual difference. This book explores the context of feminist debates surrounding Cixous's work and provides a concise explanation of her major philosophical and literary concepts, including the 'other bisexuality', the 'third body', and l'ecriture feminine. Bray demonstrates, through original and provocative readings of texts by James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Clarice Lispector and Angela Carter, the creative potential of Cixous's thought on literature and philosophy. Reading Cixous alongside Nietzsche, Heidegger, Deleuze and Derrida, Bray argues for a recognition of Cixous as one of the important thinkers of our times.

'Bray's introduction to Cixous is brilliantly researched, lucid, engaging and thorough. More than an introduction to Cixous, it provides a remarkable overview of some of the key issues in feminist and cultural theory.' - Claire Colebrook, University of Edinburgh
