The Archaeology of Foucault

"This final volume of Elden's magisterial history offers a fascinating insight into Foucault's life and work throughout the 1960s."
Camille Robcis, Columbia University
 
"For we students of Foucault and avid readers of his books, the articulation with debates of the time and the reorientations of his thought seemed clear enough. What an illusion! Building on the new archive and testimonies with amazing intellectual empathy, Stuart Elden recreates the latent discourse. We can embark on a new reading and understanding of the great archaeologist of our culture."
Étienne Balibar, author of On Universals
 
"Stuart Elden concludes his series on Foucault with another work of meticulous scholarship, unearthing archival sources, variants of Foucault's publications, and links to his contemporaries in the exciting intellectual context of the 1960s."
Clare O'Farrell, Queensland University of Technology
