A most valuable book.' -- Jonathan Culler, Professor of English, Cornell University, USA Rather than carve the Grammatology up into themes or sections imposed from without, the editors have divided their collection according to the letter of the divisions of Derrida's book. This offers practical advantages to the reader who may be searching for discusion of one particular passage...Some [contributions] are usefully orientated towards filling in the background context of a certain passage, where others are concerned to unpack the conceptual content of Derrida's technical vocabulary. A valuable few reach across large portions of the work, synthesising context, content, and structure...the strongest element of this book id that so may admirable readers of Derrida are gathered here together...Many of the entries here could serve as springboards for articles and research projects...Reading Derrida's Of Grammatology does succeed admirably in underscoring the overflowing brilliance of Derrida's book. -- Andrew Dunstall * Radical Philosophy Review * 'A star-studded cast of commentators here offer their takes on Derrida's most famous work, clarifying its many difficulties and exploring its multifarious implications.
