Ecrits: A Selection

Customer Reviews

Try the new translation instead-spare yourself a lot of pain - By: F.F., 15 Nov 2003
It's time to stop reprinting this old translation. Sheridan made a brave attempt some 25 years ago to render Lacans difficult prose into English, but Sheridan's command of French left a great deal to be desired, & his knowledge of Lacans numerous seminars (that form the backdrop of most of his writings) was non-existent; after alll, almost none of them were available even in French at that time. This old translation should no longer be reprinted: it is virtuallly incomprehensible at times & is often quite inaccurate. Readers seeking to study the Ecrits should consult the 2002 translation by myself; the paperback version will be out very shortly, will be competitive in price with this old translation, & is vastly superior in readability & accurary.
