It is difficult to think of a figure in literary and cultural theory more important than Jacques Derrida. Although highly controversial, his writing has transformed contemporary thought and his work on deconstruction cannot be ignored. Ranging across such ideas as freedom, the supplement, differance and deconstruction, this volume constitutes an indispensable bridge to Derrida&#39;s enormously influential texts. With a special focus on Derrida&#39;s relevance for literary and cultural studies, Nicholas Royle explores not only Derrida&#39;s most striking innovations, but also his colossal impact and unique writing style. The volume&#39;s final section, Further Reading, offers invaluable additional advice on reading Derrida&#39;s texts and guidance on a wide range of critical responses to his work. Written in a clear and entertaining style, this volume is an outstanding introduction to perhaps the most compelling thinker of our time.
