Abstract
ABSTRACTThis essay is a review on Deconstruction and Criticism. In this book, Bloom explores how strong poets, through misreading, conquer the influence of anxiety from the precursors so as to achieve their uniqueness; Paul de Man discusses how the rhetoric of language governed by trope subverts its fulfillment of a unified meaning; Derrida discusses the problems of the boundary of text, describing the way the text overruns the limits assigned to it. In this way, he redefines the text and extends the boundary of the text; Hartman mainly focuses on the reading experience. He advocates that the writer is also a reader and we should not only talk of reader intrinsically but also historically; Miller’s essay is on the parasitical relationship between deconstructionist reading and “obvious” reading, nihilism and metaphysics, as well as poem and earlier poems. Those critics have their different views on deconstruction and literary criticism; they, however, share some common ideas on the issues of text interpretation, intertextuality as well as the boundary of text.
