Synopsis
A Lover''s Discourse, at its 1978 publication, was revolutionary: Roland Barthes made unprecedented use of the tools of structuralism to explore the whimsical phenomenon of love. Rich with references ranging from Goethe''s Werther to Winnicott, from Plato to Proust, from Baudelaire to Schubert, A Lover''s Discourse artfully draws a portrait in which every reader will find echoes of themselves.

About the Authors
Roland Barthes (1915-1980) was a French cultural and literary critic, whose clever and lyrical writings on semiotics made structuralism one of the leading movements of the twentieth century.

Richard Howard teaches in the School of the Arts at Columbia University, USA. He has also translated works by Barthes, Foucault and Todorov.
