Roland Barthes (1915-1980) was a major French writer, literary theorist and critic of French culture and society. His classic works include 'Mythologies' and 'Camera Lucida'.
'Criticism and Truth' is a brilliant discussion of the language of literary criticism and a key work in the Barthes canon. It is a cultural, linguistic and intellectual challenge to those who believe in the clarity, flexibility and neutrality of language, couched in Barthes' own inimitable and provocative style.
