Adrian May completed his PhD in French Intellectual Culture at the University of Cambridge. He is currently an independent researcher and teacher.
'This is an exciting, informative, well-written and engaging book.
It will make a significant contribution to the field and will be
useful for students and academics with an interest in French
Studies and the contemporary moment, while also of interest for the
general reader. [May] tells an exciting story, driven by a focused
attention to the fortunes of radical critical debate and the
different forms that resistance to political orthodoxy has taken in
and around Lignes since the more explicit and well-known moment of
the 1960 and 1970s.'
Patrick ffrench, Kings College London
Reviews 'Up until this volume by May, no such monograph was
available on this particular French intellectual review. However,
Adrian May’s uncommon, very interesting, and even unique book gives
a very good view of what they are missing.'
Kristof K.P. Vanhoutte, Philosophy in Review
