Description

Reflecting the broad spectrum of modern European and American theory, this volume from an introductory series focuses on those cultural theorists who have had the most significant impact in the twentieth century. This series aims to show how modern thinkers differ in their approaches to interpreting culture, texts, society, language, history, gender, and social life. This book demonstrates how the fiction, literary criticism, and epic theater of Cixous since the 1960s can be read as a chronicle of the major intellectual currents in France during the past three decades; and interprets her work as somewhere between poetry and politics, creating and defining a new form that accounts for feminist values.
