Calvet, Laouis-Hean
Roland Barthes : A Biography
Cambridge: Polity Press 1994. First Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book This is a biography of Roland Barthes - one of the most important European intellectuals of the post-war years. In a lively account of Barthes's life and work Calvet follows the brilliant semiotician from his provincial origins to his sudden death in 1980. He describes Barthes's move to Paris as a child where he lived with his mother in modest surroundings and constant hardship. He argues that the experience of having his academic prospects ruined by his illness at an early age remained a thorn in Barthes's flesh: until the end of his life his relationship with the academic world was never free of bitterness even resentment. Calvet retraces his years in Paris Bucharest and Alexandria after the war. During this period Barthes gained access to intellectual circles and experienced his decisive encounter with modern linguistics particularly with "semiotics" which he helped to establish as a discipline through his work on everyday myths fashion and literature. Calvet discusses the whole range of Barthes's work as a critic and literary theorist and demonstrates his tremendous importance and influence in the second half of the 20th century. This book provides a detailed portrait of Barthes's life and a vivid reconstruction of the intellectual culture of post-war France. It should be of interest to students and researchers in literature cultural studies French studies and anyone interested in the life and work of Roland Barthes. 291pp. N.B.

Flavin, Michael
Benjamin Disraeli : The Novel As Political Discourse
Brighton and Portland: Sussex Academic Press 2005. First Edition. Cloth. Like New/Like New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book December 2004 marked the bicentenary of Benjamin Disraeli's birth. "The Novel as Political Discourse" examines Disraeli's novels in order to construct a portrait of the man his context and enduring reputation. Disraeli's literary career ran from 1826 to 1880. Within this time he became an M.P. Leader of the Opposition Chancellor and Prime Minister. His novels can be read as the breeding ground for his ideas gestated away from the pressure cooker of Parliament. From his first novel "Vivian Grey" about the formation of a new political party through to the overtly political 'Young England' trilogy named after a faction of the Conservative Party with which Disraeli was aligned and beyond Disraeli's novels expose the development of his thinking while also reflecting the anxieties of his age. This book will appeal to those fascinated by Disraeli and Conservatism and anyone interested in the development of Britain in the Victorian era. The book enhances our understanding of this charismatic figure who continues to cast a formidable shadow across the nation's politics and culture. 221pp. Sussex Academic Press hardcover
