Synopsis
Roland Barthes remains one of the most influential cultural theorists of the postwar period and Image-Music-Text collects his most influential essays. Ed White provides students with a clear guide to this essential but difficult text.
As students are increasingly expected to write across a range of media, Barthes' work can be understood as an early mapping of what we now call interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary study. The book's detailed section-by-section readings makes Barthes' most important writings accessible to undergraduate readers.
This book is a perfect companion for teaching and learning Barthes' ideas in cultural studies and literary theory.

Review
'Using clear examples of explicate Barthes's concerns, this volume is a triumph of exposition and illustration, be it in narrative analysis, visual theory, cultural studies, or textual essayism. By taking the essays in Image-Music-Text in the non-chronological order given to them by Stephen Heath, the volume even attempts, tentatively, provisionally, a synthesis.' - Andy Stafford, Senior Lecturer in French and Francophone Studies, University of Leeds
