The New Criticism in France
Serge Doubrovsky
Translated
by
Derek Coltman
With an Introduction
by
Edward Wasiolek
The battle between traditional and "new" criticism erupted in the
pages of
Le Monde
on March 14, 1964 when Raymond Picard
accused "new" critic, Roland Barthes of "dogmatic impression–
ism." In this volume, Serge Doubrovsky discusses the Barthes–
Picard controversy and goes on to investigate the question of
what literature is and how a critic should respond. He thoroughly
examines the genesis, nature, and state of French new criticism.
