Book Description:

Paul de Man is often associated with an era of high theory; an era it is argued may now be coming to a close. This book, written by three leading contemporary scholars, includes a previously unpublished text by de Man of his handwritten notes for a lecture on Walter Benjamin. Challenging and relevant, this volume presents de Man s work as a critical resource for dealing with the most important questions of the twenty-first century and argues for the place of theory within it."
