Roland Barthes (1915 1980) was a French literary theorist, essayist, philosopher, critic, and semiotician. His work engaged in the analysis of a variety of sign systems, mainly derived from Western popular culture. His ideas explored a diverse range of fields and influenced the development of many schools of theory, including structuralism, anthropology, literary theory, and post-structuralism. 'The Eiffel Tower and other Mythologies" is in the main line of his thought. It provides an analysis of various items from the popular culture, written with intelligence, a literary flair, and just the right amount of wry humor. Barthes is perhaps best known for his 1957 essay collection Mythologies, which contained reflections on popular culture, and 1967 essay "The Death of the Author," which critiqued traditional approaches in literary criticism. During his academic career he was primarily associated with the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) and the Collège de France. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 152 pages. pages.
