48 editions published between 1969 and 1980 in English and Undetermined and held by 2,092 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Richard Howard in the initial instance set himself the overwhelming task of a critical examination in detail of forty-one American poets as widely different as James Merrill and Gary Snyder, some celebrated and some obscure ... In this new and enlarged edition, one hundred pages longer than the original volume, he has added essays to many of the original chapters, dealing with new work by the poets originally examined ... but leaving the original text unchanged. --Atheneum

The pleasure of the text by
Roland Barthes(
Book
)
9 editions published between 1975 and 1998 in English and held by 993 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
What is it that we do when we enjoy a text? What is the pleasure of reading? The French critic and theorist Roland Barthes's answers to these questions constitute "perhaps for the first time in the history of criticism... not only a poetics of reading... but a much more difficult achievement, an erotics of reading ... Like filings which gather to form a figure in a magnetic field, the parts and pieces here do come together, determined to affirm the pleasure we must take in our reading as against the indifference of (mere) knowledge." --Richard Howard -- From https://www.amazon.co.uk (April 14, 2017)

For a new novel : essays on fiction by
Alain Robbe-Grillet(
Book
)
8 editions published between 1965 and 1996 in English and held by 959 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
<<Ces textes ne constituent en rien une théorie du roman; ils tentent seulement de dégager quelques lignes d'évolution qui me paraissent capitales dans la littérature contemporaine. Si j'emploie volontiers, dans bien des pages, le terme de Nouveau Roman, ce n'est pas pour désigner une école, ni même un groupe défini et constitué d'écrivains qui travailleraient dans le même sens; il n'y a là qu'une appellation commode englobant tous ceux qui cherchent de nouvelles formes romanesques, capables d'exprimer (ou de créer) de nouvelles relations entre l'homme et le monde, tous ceux qui sont décidés à inventer le roman, c'est-à-dire à inventer l'homme. Ils savent, ceux-là, que la répétition systématique des formes du passé est non seulement absurde et vaine, mais qu'elle peut même devenir nuisible : en nous fermant les yeux sur notre situation réelle dans le monde présent, elle nous empêche en fin de compte de construire le monde et l'homme de demain.>> (Alain Robbe-Grillet)

The erasers by
Alain Robbe-Grillet(
Book
)
8 editions published between 1964 and 1987 in English and French and held by 834 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Alain Robbe-Grillet is internationally hailed as the chief spokesman for the noveau roman and one of the great novelists of the twentieth century. The Erasers, his first novel, reads like a detective story but is primarily concerned with weaving and then probing a complete mixture of fact and fantasy. The narrative spans the twenty-four-hour period following a series of eight murders in eight days, presumably the work of a terrorist group. After the ninth murder, the investigation is turned over to a police agent, who may in fact be the assassin. Both an engrossing mystery and a sinister deconstruction of reality, The Erasers intrigues and unnerves with equal force as it pull us along to its ominous conclusion

Empire of signs by
Roland Barthes(
Book
)
8 editions published between 1982 and 2009 in English and held by 795 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"El Japón es el país de la escritura. En 1970, Roland Barthes dedica una obra al sistema simbólico japonés, en un viaje no por el Japón rela, sino por el de sus signos. Barthes no es el turista que pasea por las calles, degusta la gatronomía o asiste a representaciones teatrales, sino el semiólogo que se afana por interpretar el significado y el significante. El resultado es un tratado sobre el signo, sus reglas y su belleza. Con El Imperio de los signos, Roland Barthes, uno de los máximos representantes del postestructuralismo francés y uno de los padres de la semiótica moderna, inicia una fase en la que comienza a sentirse escritor, a construir un estilo propio; en palabras del autor: "Este libro es una especie de entrada, no tanto en la novela cuanto en lo novelesco". Ésta es una obra de culto para todos aquellos que aceptan el extrañamiento que supone la confrotación con la civilización japonesa. Su lectura nos obliga a desprendernos de nuestras referencias y códigos culturales para entrar en un mundo dedicado enteramente al signo. Años después de su redacción, y pese a la evolución sufrida por algunos aspectos de la sociedad japonesa, los análisis de Roland Barthes permanecen inalterables."--Contratapa

Jealousy: "In a tropical jungle overlooking a banana plantation, a jealous husband is obsessed by his suspicion of adultery between his wife and his neighbor.
