Summary:"Michel Foucault's The History of Sexuality is one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century and has been instrumental in shaping the study of gender, feminist theory and queer theory. But Foucault's writing can be a difficult book to grasp as Foucault assumes a familiarity with the intellectually dominant theories of his time and at times adopts an ironic tone which renders many passages obscure for newcomers to his work. The guidebook offers a clear and comprehensive guide to this groundbreaking work, examining: The historical context in which Foucault wrote; A critical discussion of the text, which examines the relationship between the history of sexuality, the use of pleasure and the care of the self; The reception and ongoing influence of The History of Sexuality."--Provided by publisher.
