This is not a book which falls within our normal ambit of coverage, though
its author is a classicist, and it would take considerable courage and
preparation to <i>review</i> a book which methodically and quite
effectively sets out to defy every effort to speak of Foucault in a
non-Foucauldian idiom.  This volume comprises an introduction and two long
essays, one on the politics of Foucault, the other on the three recent
biographies of Foucault (Eribon, Miller, Macey).  We mention it here,
however, chiefly because it is the first book known to the editors to
advertise that a portion of it has previously appeared (see p. 222,
bibliographical note) in <i>BMCR</i> (3.2.7).
