"Applied Grammatology offers a full, rigorous, and perceptive reading of my published work, from the earliest to the most recent. Gregory Ulmer's interpretation is at once subtle, faithful, and educational, and would be of immense use for this alone. It is, moreover, an original and path-breaking book whether discussing new art forms or the transformation of the pedagogical scene... I read this book with recognition and admiration."--Jacques Derrida

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Gregory Ulmer has written a very important book, one that deserves to be widely read and discussed. Applied Grammatology is a rich mine of observations and hypotheses." -- Clayton Koelb, Comparitive Literature Studies

"Gregory Ulmer's Applied Grammatology is an extremely well-written study of Derridean thought and is particularily informative in its discussion of those aspects of Derrida's rather large oevre that have for the most part been overlooked." -- Substance

"He has taken matters boldly in hand and dared to raise the difficult question of 'Application' in a remarkably clear style." -- James Creech, Degre Second

"It is an ambitious book, seeking nothing less than to take the first steps in a program of change so radical as to seem unreceivable as pedagogy. But Gregory Ulmer's knowledge of the field is unusually wide and convincing and his vision of this new science exceptionally exciting." -- Louis A. Cellucci, American Society for Aesthetics
