Who is more important: the reader, or the writer? Originally published in French in 1966, Pierre Macherey?s first and most famous work, A Theory of Literary Production dared to challenge perceived wisdom, and quickly established him as a pivotal figure in literary theory. The reissue of this work as a Routledge Classic brings some radical ideas to a new audience, and argues persuasively for a totally new way of reading. As such, it is an essential work for anyone interested in the development of literary theory. \n
Pierre Macherey is a founding theorist of post-structuralism, and was a peer of Jacques Derrida's. His writings have influenced such contemporary literary thinkers as Terry Eagleton and Catherine Belsey.
