Description

This book examines the affinity between the notions of “theory” and “deconstruction” that developed in the American academy in the 1970s by way of a semi-fictional collective, the “Yale Critics”: Harold Bloom, Paul de Man, Geoffrey Hartman, and J. Hillis Miller, in association with the French philosopher Jacques Derrida.
