BL The first study of the intricate parallels between the heretical dramaturgy of Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) and the heresies of ancient Gnosticism. Artaud has been mythologized by influential post-structuralist critics as an icon of failure and madness, overlooking the self-mythologizing which permeates his vast oeuvre. This book uses `heresy'' rather than `madness'' to designate the impassioned thought processes which escape the terms of orthodox Western epistemology, and situates Artaud, as the most extravagant of heretics, in company with the Gnostics whose speculations served to define heresy in the beginnings of the Christian tradition. Assessing the implications for contemporary criticism, Jane Goodall argues that the neglect of these elements of Artaud''s work by recent theorists signals post-structuralism''s anxiety towards the powerful assault upon the founding tenets of Western thought presented in Gnostic drama.
