This study, Literary History in the Wake of Roland Barthes..., addresses the concept of reading and its relationship with the literary text as proposed in the works of Roland Barthes, a major proponent of the New Criticism that transformed academic formalism in literary studies from Lansonism (a scientific approach to criticism espoused by Gustave Lanson) to the reader as a necessary participant in giving meaning to the written text. All French citations have been translated into English.
