Description

"Few thinkers of the twentieth century have so profoundly and radically transformed our understanding of writing and literature as Jacques Derrida (1930-2004). This book provides an introduction to Derrida's writings on literature which presupposes no prior knowledge of his work. It explores in detail Derrida's relationship to literary theory and criticism, and offers close readings of some of his best-known essays. This introduction will help those coming to Derrida's work for the first time, and suggests further directions to take in studying this influential thinker."--Jacket.
