Media Reviews

Taken together, The Pleasure of the Text and S/Z force us to notice how much of the most interesting thought today is being carried forward in what we used to call a literary criticisma , and how important Barthesa s own contribution to redefinition of the field has been. (The New York Times Book Review)
