Reviews

'Elden's compendious coverage of Foucault's intellectual career constitutes the contemporary apogee of scholarship on Foucault.'
Mark G. E. Kelly, Western Sydney University

'This is a work of immense scholarship. Stuart Elden provides a wealth of contextual information on Foucault's less familiar early career.'
Clare O'Farrell, Queensland University of Technology

'Stuart Elden's comprehensive, finely crafted investigation of the early Foucault is much more than a contribution to Foucault studies. It's an exemplary guide to writing intellectual history.'
Michael J. Shapiro, University of Hawai'i, Manoa
