'...a book which should be read by all students contemplating
enrolment for a university course in modern English or European
literary studies.' - Roy Harris, Times Higher Education Supplement
Eliot to Derrida is a sardonic portrait of the cult of the
specialist interpreter, from I.A. Richards and the Cambridge School
to Jacques Derrida and his disciples. This lucid, iconoclastic
study shows how, and why, so much of the academic response to a
rich variety of literary experiment has been straitjacketed by the
vast industries which have grown up around `modernism' and
`postmodernism'. For anyone disenchanted with the extravagant
claims - and leaden prose - of literary theorists, this will be an
exhilarating book.
