piccoline's review against another edition
5.0
Review of Volume 1 (which the cover above corresponds to):
For some reason at some point I'd gathered the impression that Lefebvre's work was difficult, even impenetrable. How utterly false! On the contrary, his style is lucid, swift, even poetic and beautiful in places. His particular views of the tasks of criticism, and the necessity of reimagining and re-creating our ways of analysis and the creation of meaning are well expressed and still carry some great weight.
A real pleasure (though it is true I will tarry with a few other books before launching into Volume 2, published many years later).
