Criticism and Truth

By Roland Barthes

Book Overview

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.
