In Peggy Kamuf's view, studying signature will help us to rediscover some of the stakes of literary writing beyond the historicist\/formalist opposition. Drawing on Derrida's extensive work on signatures and proper names, Kamuf investigates authorial signature in key writers from Rousseau to Woolf, as well as the implications of signature for the institutions of authorship and criticism.\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":52607773737240,"sku":"9781501726361","price":15.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/signature-pieces-on-the-institution-of-authorship-paperback-softback-9781501726361","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
