Writing Degree Zero (1953) is Roland Barthes's first full-length book, which grew out of magazine articles from the 1940s and was inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre's essay What is Literature? In this fundamental text for his subsequent work, Barthes distinguishes between language and style and defines the concept of "writing", examining the stages of its evolution, and also proposes the idea of "neutral writing" - or "writing degree zero" - which overcomes literature as a bourgeois form of culture. The work became a manifesto for the era of the "new novel" and heralded the structuralist revolution of the 1960s. In 1999, it was included in the list of the hundred best books of the 20th century, compiled by the newspaper Le Monde.
