Critical Practice: Reading Derrida Reading Romeo and Juliet. This is the first book of its kind which questions Derrida s view of literature levelling all distinctions between literature and other disciplines. Setting forth those features of literature which mark it off from non-literature, the author argues that Derrida s deconstruction is enshrined in a flawed view of language. Pleading stridently for a twofold division of language and drawing extensively on the philosophers and the linguists who support it, the author has advanced a fresh approach to literature as well as other disciplines. It is a defence of literature, and by implication, of logic and truth, in the age of deconstruction. (jacket).
