Editorial Reviews
Review
`A compact volume that performs marvels in the difficult art of summarizing (without betrayal) the complex theories that for the past 75 years have been labelled “structuralist”. Hawkes ranges from Vico to Barthes, writing with a lucidity and grasp of the essential points that is nothing short of astonishing.’ – Choice
