The World of René Girard

Translated into English for the first time by leading mimetic studies scholar William A. Johnsen, The World of René Girard is a must-have for those new to and familiar with Girard's work. In these interviews, Girard discusses the flurry of intellectual activity that followed the landmark 1981 Stanford University conference, Disorder and Order. Girard also discusses Theater of Envy, his then-forthcoming book on Shakespeare and the first book written in English, as well as corrects several misunderstandings of his mimetic hypothesis.
