This study proposes a revised interpretation of Foucault's views on literature. It has been
argued that the philosopher's interest in literature was limited to the 1960s and of a mostly
depoliticized nature. However Foucault's previously unpublished later works suggest a
different reality showing a sustained interest in literature and its politics. In the light of
this new material the book repositions Foucault's ideas within recent debates on the politics
of literature.
