Michel Foucault''sThe History of Sexualityis 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 which renders many passages obscure for newcomers to his work.

The Routledge Guidebook to Foucault''s The History of Sexualityoffers 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 betweenThe History of Sexuality,The Use of PleasureandThe Care of The Self
  • The reception and ongoing influence ofThe History of Sexuality

Offering a close reading of the text, this is essential reading for anyone studying this enormously influential work.
