Collected here, these previously unpublished texts reveal a Foucault who undertakes an analysis of language and experience detached from their historical constraints. Three issues predominate: the experience of madness across societies; madness and language in Artaud, Roussel, and Baroque theater; and structuralist literary criticism. Not only do these texts pursue concepts unique to this period such as the \"extra-linguistic,\" but they also reveal a far more complex relationship between structuralism and Foucault than has typically been acknowledged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichel Foucault\u003c\/b\u003e (1926-84) was a French philosopher and historian who held the Chair of the History of Systems of Thought at the Collège de France.
