Description
Julia Kristeva has sparked considerable debate among feminist, political and psychoanalytic thinkers, securing her status as one of the most formidable figures in twentieth-century critical theory. However, her precise relevance to the study of literature can be hard for new readers to fathom. This volume explores Kristeva's definitions of literature, her methods for analyzing it, and the theoretical ground on which those endeavors are based.
