Jonathan Culler's \u003ci\u003eOn Deconstruction\u003c\/i\u003e is a typically patient, thoughtful, illuminating exposition of the ideas of Jacques Derrida and their application to literary studies.\u003c\/p\u003e - David Lodge (Commonweal) \u003cp\u003eAs a practicing critic, Culler has always been a deconstructor, and he approaches this topic with special immediacy and force. In \u003ci\u003eOn Deconstruction\u003c\/i\u003e, he offers generous summaries of numerous representative articles and a fine annotated bibliography.... His magisterial way of tracing particular topics and techniques through our diaspora of critical texts, and his provocative analyses, cannot fail to focus any critic's thinking about deconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e (Modern Language Quarterly) \u003cp\u003eCuller is lucid and thorough, can move into and out of other people's arguments without losing the sense of his own voice and argument, and can manage to seem equally at home with Freudianism, feminism, and traditional literary criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e (Times Literary Supplement) \u003cp\u003eGifted with grace and clarity, Culler provides us with a stimulating survey of contemporary literary criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e (Antioch Review)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an emphasis on readers and reading, Jonathan Culler considered deconstruction in terms of the questions raised by psychoanalytic, feminist, and reader-response criticism. \u003ci\u003eOn Deconstruction\u003c\/i\u003e is both an authoritative synthesis of Derrida's thought and an analysis of the often-problematic relation between his philosophical writings and the work of literary critics. Culler's book is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in understanding modern critical thought. This edition marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first publication of this landmark work and includes a new preface by the author that surveys deconstruction's history since the 1980s and assesses its place within cultural theory today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52551695532312,"sku":"9780801474057","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/on-deconstruction-theory-and-criticism-after-structuralism-paperback-softback-9780801474057","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
