Funny, I've forgotten it too, though I read it fairly carefully back in '75 or so. I was attracted by the title, since I had become rather weary of the new criticism and history of ideas I was trained in, but I can't even remember now whether I liked or disliked the essay itself when I read it. As Ian suggests, she did write about Barthes, but I can't remember any of that either except that his death made her very sad. Did she visit Hanoi and duel with Diane Trilling about it???
