[[Lacan]] only published one book in his lifetime - [[Écrits]].<ref>[[Jacques Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]]. [[Écrits]]. [[Paris]]: [[Editions du Seuil]], [[{{Y}}|1966]].</ref>[[Écrits]] is not an introductory [[text]] but the summation of a lifetime's [[training|teaching]] and [[clinic]]al [[practice]]. Each paper contains a [[multiplicity]] of allusions and references that [[need]] to be unpacked, if we are to begin [[understanding]] [[Lacan]]'s [[ideas]]. "[[The Mirror Stage]]", for example, is only seven pages long, while "[[The Signification of the Phallus]]" is just nine, but each of these papers has generated volumes of explication, critique and applications.
==Translation==The [[English]] [[translation]], [[Écrits: A Selection]] is not an introductory text but the summation of a lifetime's teaching and clinical practice. Each paper by Alan [[Sheridan]] ([[London]]: Tavistock Publications, 1977), contains a multiplicity many of allusions and references that need to be unpacked, if the key [[texts]] we are to begin understanding Lacan's ideas. have discussed in the preceding chapters: 'The [[Mirror ]] [[Stage]]', for example'The Rome [[Discourse]]', is only seven pages long'The [[Agency]] of the [[Letter]] in the [[Unconscious]]', while 'The Signification [[Meaning]] of the [[Phallus]]' and 'The [[Subversion]] of the [[Subject]] and the [[Dialectic]] of [[Desire]]' is just nine, but each it still only consists of one-[[third]] of these papers the [[French]] edition. A new translation of this selection has generated volumes recently been produced by [[Bruce Fink]] (Écrits: A Selection, New York: Norton, 2002) but his translation of explication, critique and applicationsthe [[complete]] Écrits is still awaited. Fink's extensively annotated translations will undoubtedly become the standard authoritative texts of Lacan in the coming years but as this is not yet the [[case]] all references in this introduction are to the Sheridan edition.
