Continuum's "Guides for the Perplexed" are clear, concise and
accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that
students and readers can find especially challenging. Concentrating
specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to
grasp, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas,
guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding
material. Jacques Derrida is one of the most important thinkers of
the twentieth century. His writings, his lectures and his
involvement in a number of political causes have transformed the
way in which literature and cultural studies is taught yet his work
has often met with incomprehension, hostility and fear. This guide
provides students with a clear, unintimidating introduction to
Derrida, the key concepts and ideas associated with his work and
the major subjects he addresses. Without assuming any prior
knowledge of Derrida's work or literary theory more widely, the
guide introduces Derrida's ideas, work, reception and his wider
philosophical and critical influence. Throughout, Wolfreys refers
to literature and film examples, grounding discussion of
theoretical concepts in close reading of specific texts.
