The Kristeva Reader

An easily accessible introduction to Kristeva’s work in English. The essays have been selected as representative of the three main areas of Kristeva’s writing–semiotics, psychoanalysis, and political theory–and are each prefaced by a clear, instructive introduction. For beginners or those familiar with Kristeva’s work this is a good complement to The Portable Kristeva with a convenient selection of articles from Kristeva’s earlier work some of which are otherwise hard to come by.
