Rezensionen

'Through offering...an 'introduction' to Derrida's work in the context of literary studies, it also provides the advanced student of Derrida and researchers who specialize in the field of literary theory, poststructuralism, and 'deconstruction' much to consider, and equally much to reassess...one can only wish that there were more books of this quality on Derrida.' - Professor Julian Wolfreys, Department of English, University of Florida, USA
