About the Author
Roland Barthes was born in 1915 and studied French literature and classics at the University of Paris. After teaching French at universities in Romania and Egypt, he joined the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique, where he devoted himself to research in sociology and lexicology. He was Professor of the Collège de France until his death in 1980.
From the Inside Flap
"Figures among the very greatest works of criticism ever devoted to Racine. Its artful combination of structural and psychoanalytic perspectives makes the text of Racinian drama current for students and scholars generally in a way few academic studies can."Christopher Braider, Harvard University
"An immensely stimulating and thoughtful book. The structuralist framework allows Barthes to achieve a fruitful and stimulating convergence of pioneering Freudian (Mauron) and Marxist (Goldman) studies of Racine, with a Brechtian twist of his own."Lionel Gossman, Princeton University
