To understand why this is the correct option, let's analyze each of the books listed in the question and identify their authors:
1. A) Desire in Language: A Semiotic Approach to Literature and Art: This influential work was written by the Bulgarian-French philosopher, literary critic, and psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva. First published in French, it explores semiotics, psychoanalysis, and language.
2. B) Illuminations: This is a collection of essays and reflections by the German-Jewish philosopher and cultural critic Walter Benjamin.
3. C) Syntax and Semantics: This is a well-known academic book series in linguistics, not a monograph by Julia Kristeva.
4. D) La révolution du langage poétique (translated as Revolution in Poetic Language): This is one of Julia Kristeva's most famous seminal texts, originally published in 1974, which serves as her doctoral thesis and outlines her theories on the semiotic and symbolic domains of language.
5. E) The Madwoman in the Attic: This landmark feminist literary criticism book was written by Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar, published in 1979.
