Content: Opens up de Man’s archive of notebooks, critical texts and papers for the first timeGBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup(['ISBN: 9780748641048','ISBN: 9780748670178']);This anthology collects 36 texts and papers from the Paul de Man archive, including essays on art and literature, translations, critical fragments, research plans, interviews and reports on the state of comparative literature. Divided into 4 sections – Texts, Translations, Teaching and Research – these materials offer a fascinating insight into the work of one of the 20th century's most important literary theorists. The volume also engages with Paul de Man's institutional life, gathering together pedagogical and critical material to investigate his profound influence on the American academy and theory today. It contains a number of substantial, previously unpublished and un-translated texts by de Man from the span of his writing career. Accompanied by the Editor’s insightful introduction and an extensive bibliography, this new collection of primary sources further enables the growing reappraisal of de Man's work."
