Reviews and Endorsements
[Kristeva's] graceful and lucid history of language ranges over vast intellectual territory—Egyptian hieroglyphs to psychoanalytic discourse, Crates of Mallos to Benveniste to Lévi-Strauss and Lacan. Guaranteed jargon-free.
Voice Literary Supplement
It is a pleasure to read a study that maintains a sophisticated theoretical stance with such clarity, care, and intellectual brilliance.
Lawrence Kritzman
Stimulating and eminently readable.
