You should have a look at Dreyfus & Rabinow, Michel Foucault: Beyond
Structuralism and Hermeneutics, as it usefully situates Foucault's work in
relation to phenomenology, hermeneutics and other contemporary modes of
thought. It's not perfect, but is certainly worth looking at. I would
suggest that Gary Gutting, Michel Foucault's Archaeology of Scientific
Reason is the best exposition of Foucault's archaeological period.
But of course, none of this is a substitute for reading Foucault himself.
L'Archeologie du savoir is an obvious place to start, but you should also
look at L'Ordre du discours (be very wary of the English translation), Ceci
n'est pas une pipe (a discussion of Rene Magritte, so useful on images in
art, as is the first chapter of Les mots et les choses). On the author, see
Qu'est-ce qu'un auteur? There are other important pieces and interviews of
this period, but these texts are, I would suggest, the minimum.
Good luck with the project.
Best wishes
Stuart
