A "wilful extremist" according to the "London Times, " Helene Cixous is hailed as one of the most formidable writers and thinkers of our time. From collaborating with acclaimed performance company Theatre du Soleil, to producing a weighty body of both fiction and non-fiction, Cixous is celebrated for her brilliant contributions to contemporary culture.

Acclaimed by luminaries such as Jacques Derrida, her writing has nonetheless been misunderstood and misread, to a surprising extent. With the inclusion of Stigmata,one of her greatest works into the "Routledge Classics "series, this is about to change.

Questions that have long concerned her - the self and the other, autobiographies of writing, sexual difference, literary theory, post-colonial theory, death and life - are explored here, woven into a stunning narrative. Displaying a remarkable virtuosity, the work of Cixous is heady stuff indeed: exciting, powerful, moving, and dangerous.

Industry Reviews

'The ultra unscrutable feminist theorist' - "The New York Times" 'A literary critic, and a very intelligent one...a sort of French Susan Sontag.' - "The Financial Times" '"Stigmata's" sample of offerings brings the reader up to date with her current concerns [and] make[s] a worthwhile contribution to Cixous studies ... undoubtedly of value to those students, teachers and researchers who are interested in her rich body of writing.' - "Gill Rye, Women's Philosophy Review" 'HelA ne Cixous is in my eyes, today, the greatest writer in the French language. Stigmata is henceforth a classic. One of her most recent masterpieces.' - "Jacques Derrida"
