Review
“There are many works dealing with the critical and cultural themes and texts examined here, and also several recent expositions of deconstruction. I doubt, however, that there is another work dealing with these topics and issues, either together or individually, that can equal this one for its combined intellectual authority, conceptual subtlety, and literary elegance.”—Barbara Herrnstein Smith, Duke University.
