«Le degré zéro de l'écriture» is Roland Barthes's literary criticism essay, published by Seuil in paperback (187 pages, in French).
In this essay, Barthes argues that in every literary work there is a formal reality independent of language and style: writing as a link between the writer and society. He analyzes its evolution from classical transparency to today's neutral writing, and includes eight essays on authors such as La Rochefoucauld, Flaubert, Proust or Verne.
This Seuil edition also includes the 'Nouveaux essais critiques' and was published in 1972.
Recommended for literature students and teachers, as well as readers interested in literary theory and criticism.
