In 1956 Jacques Lacan proposed an interpretation of Edgar Allan
Poe's "Purloined Letter" that at once challenged literary theorists
and revealed a radical new concept of psychoanalysis. Lacan's far
reaching claims about language and truth provoked a vigorous
critique by Jacques Derrida, whose essay in turn spawned further
responses from other writers. "The Purloined Poe" brings Poe's
story together with these readings to provide a structured exercise
in the elaboration of text interpretation.
