Description
The ideas of the French intellectuals who propounded structuralism and poststructuralism have had a profound impact on disciplines ranging from literary theory to sociology, from anthropology to philosophy, from history to psychoanalysis. A long-awaited translation, this two-volume set examines the thinkers who made up the movement, providing a fascinating elucidation of a central aspect of postwar intellectual history.Tags

Interesting and frustrating at the same time. His treatment of Althusser in particular was quite impoverished--although he clearly described Althusser's influence, he didn't describe any of his theory, which I found astonishing.
