Stephen Heath’s translation brings together thirteen essays by noted French philosopher Roland Barthes including ‘Rhetoric of the Image,’ ‘Music Practica,’ and ‘The Death of the Author’. These essays convey “themes which invest all of Barthes’s work and have effectively recast the terms of contemporary cultural thought” (DJ). A review copy, with the publisher’s printed review slip loosely inserted. Very good condition with clean, crisp pages, dust jacket with minimal spine toning, not price clipped.
