PAUL DE MAN
Paul de Man is to many a driving force behind the critical movement of
deconstruction. To others, he is a scandalous figure, due to the post-
humous exposure of his involvement with the collaborationist press in
Second World War Belgium. Whatever the ‘truth’ about de Man, his
work is essential reading.This guide offers a way in to the full range of
his work, from the critical essays to the wartime journalism.
Martin McQuillan explores and contextualises such crucial ideas as:
• literary language and critical misreading
• deconstruction and the impossible
• autobiography and disfiguration
• aesthetic ideology
For those seeking a wide-ranging, non-partisan introduction to Paul de
Man, this is the book to choose.
