Synopsis
The ideal prelude to the study of deconstructive theory for the as-yet-uninitiated reader. Leitch uses in-depth analyses, surveys of historical background, and helpful overviews to address the questions posed by the major figures-Saussure, Lacan, Levi-Strauss, Heidegger, Derrida, Barthes Foucault-then penetrates and displays the subtle intricacies of their answers.

Review
Deconstructive Criticism neither vulgarizes and oversimplifies deconstruction, nor protects it for an elite, and this is indeed a substantial achievement. -- Terry Eagleton
