Summary
Love and writing according to Roland Barthes
Edited by: Dejan Aničić
"Rolan Bart, like no other, revives literary thought. As daring as he is in the formulation of new rules for understanding literature, he is as provocative in rejecting the old ones. To read him is to be led to a better and more pleasant reflection on the topic of what literature is, as well as on the topic of the very practice of writing and its role. He renewed literary criticism in France and it is now a far more diverse and practical discipline than it was before."
John Starock, "Introduction to the work of Roland Barthes"
"Roland Barthes had a hard time coping with his image and suffered when he was named - he was labeled as a theorist, literary critic, philosopher, linguist, semiotician, structuralist, and perhaps most of all he was a writer, and that in the new sense of the word for which he himself deserves credit."
Vladimir Gvozden, "Rolan Bart and the paradoxical conditions of literature and the world"
