In Artaud and the Gnostic Drama, Jane Goodall offers a reappraisal of the importance of Antonin Artaud (1896–1948), mythologised as an icon of failure and madness, and examines the intricate parallels between his heretical dramaturgy and the heresies of ancient Gnosticism. The book 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. Artaud subscribed to the Gnostic idea that the sensible world was created by a demiurge who was "imperfect, possibly evil and depraved.” His cosmology is inherently dramatic, setting creature against creator, force against form, matter against spirit, pious knowledge against heretical gnosis. Jane Goodall argues that major post-structuralist critics such as Derrida, Deleuze, and Foucault, who have enlisted Artaud in their own anti-orthodoxies, have refused to pay attention to the terms of his own heresy. In this refusal, they display an anxiety towards the gnostic drama and its heresies, which mount an assault that may be more powerful than their own upon the founding tenets of western thought.
Jane Goodall is an Emeritus Professor with the Writing and Society Research Centre at Western Sydney University. Artaud and the Gnostic Drama (originally published 1994) was her first book. Subsequent works include Performance and Evolution in the Age of Darwin(Routledge 2002), Stage Presence (Routledge 2007), Trauma and Public Memory, co-edited with Chris Lee (Palgrave Macmillan 2015) and The Politics of the Common Good (NewSouth, 2019). She is also the author of three detective novels, The Walker (2004) The Visitor (2006) and The Calling (2007) published by Hachette Australia.
