The first volume of Foucault's pioneering analysis of sexuality and power relations, now reissued in Penguin Modern Classics.
Michel Foucalt (1926-1984) was one of the leading intellectuals of the twentieth century and the most prominent thinker in postwar France. Foucault's work influenced disciplines as diverse as history, sociology, philosophy, sociology and literary criticism.
A wealth of insights, original conceptualizations and provocative
ideas
*Daily Telegraph*
A brilliant display of fireworks, attacking the widespread and
banal notion that 'in the beginning' sexual activity was guilt-free
and delicious, being repressed and blighted only by the gloom of
Victorianism
*Spectator*
Foucault is at his polemical best. He brilliantly succeeds in
turning commonplaces on their heads
