How to Read Barthes' Image-Music-Text cover

Roland Barthes is 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.

'A triumph of exposition and illustration, be it in narrative analysis, visual theory, cultural studies, or textual essayism' -- Andy Stafford, Senior Lecturer in French and Francophone Studies, University of Leeds
