Review
"It is not only the mingling of codes in Michelet that Barthes claims as his own; it is also the opulence of Michelet's sensual language . . . that excess in expression visible when the author's pen loses itself in the athletic joy of writing." --
Helen Vendler, New York Review of Books"No review can possibly do justice to the subtlety and economy of Barthes's presentation." --
John Clive, The New Republic"Odd, perplexing, brilliant, weird, ruminative, daring, outrageous yet masterful, Roland Barthes's Michelet . . . anticipates the methods of the author in later studies. . . . Michelet in the end is re-created in the same terms that he himself applied to history." --
Robert Taylor, Boston Globe
