| Description: | With a special focus on Derrida's relevance for literary and cultural studies, this text offers invaluable advice on reading Derrida's texts and guidance on the vast range of criticism responses to his work. There are few figures more important in literary and critical theory than Jacques Derrida. Whether lauded or condemned, his writing has had far-reaching ramifications, and his work on deconstruction cannot be ignored. This volume introduces students of literature and cultural studies to Derrida''s enormously influential texts, covering such topics as: deconstruction, text and difference; literature and freedom; law, justice and the ''democracy to come''; drugs, secrets and gifts. Nicholas Royle''s unique book, written in an innovative and original style, is an outstanding introduction to the methods and significance of Jacques Derrida. |
