‘While not always distorting the truth about a given cultural phenom-
enon, to control and master it all too often deadens its impact, arresting
its creative effects. Ironically, however, in controlling and mastering
Roland Barthes’s dauntingly variegated oeuvre, in bringing coherence
to its wilful contradictions, the author of this volume liberates that
work, making it available as one of the best examples of free critical
thinking that the twentieth century had to offer.’

Roland Barthes is a central figure in the study of language, literature,
culture and the media, both as innovator and guide. This book prepares
readers for their first encounter with his crucial writings on some of
the most important theoretical debates of the twentieth century,
including:
4
• Existentialism and Marxism
• semiology, or the ‘language of signs’
• structuralism and narrative analysis
• post-structuralism, deconstruction and ‘the death of the author’
• theories of the text and intertextuality.

In exploring Barthes’s most influential ideas and their impact,
Graham Allen traces his engagement with other key thinkers such as
Jean-Paul Sartre, Ferdinand de Saussure, Jacques Derrida and Julia
Kristeva. He concludes with a guide to easily available translations of
key texts by Barthes and offers invaluable advice on further reading.
The in-depth understanding of Barthes offered by this guide is essen-
tial to anyone reading contemporary critical theory.
