Synopsis
Roland Barthes (1915-1980) was a major French writer, literary theorist and critic of French culture and society. His classic works include Mythologies and Camera Lucida. Criticism and Truth is a brilliant discussion of the language of literary criticism and a key work in the Barthes canon. It is a cultural, linguistic and intellectual challenge to those who believe in the clarity, flexibility and neutrality of language, couched in Barthes' own inimitable and provocative style.

Review
'A remarkable account' Fredric Jameson
'Barthes outlines some key concerns: plurality of meanings; analysis, based on linguistics, of the structures of possible meanings; the idea of a science of literature; and the dynamics of reading... a lively and accessible statement of an important modern critical position that is worth reading. ' - Library Journal
From the Back Cover
When the Sorbonne philologist Raymond Picard launched an attack on Roland Barthes's Sur Racine, a book that drew upon psychoanalysis and structural anthropology, Barthes responded with Critique et Verite. Published in France in 1966, Barthes's reply to Picard went beyond its polemical origins to become a key document in the formation of structuralism.
