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.

Martin McQuillan is a Lecturer in Cultural Theory and Analysis at

the University of Leeds. He is the editor of Routledge’s Narrative Reader

and co-author of Deconstructing Disney .
