Criticism and Truth (French: Critique et vérité) is a 1966 work by Roland Barthes, first translated into English in 1987.[1]

The book is a response to Raymond Picard's criticism of Barthes' earlier 1963 work, Sur Racine. The feud between Barthes and Picard is credited with spreading Barthes' name outside France.[2]
