Description

Cultural Graphology: Writing After Derrida explores the intersection of psychoanalysis, deconstruction, and writing in early modern England. Juliet Fleming builds upon the ideas of Jacques Derrida, examining the print culture of this period through previously overlooked topics such as printed errors, spaces, and ornaments.

By re-examining fundamental terms like "error," "letter," and "surface," Fleming challenges key assumptions about book history and opens up new pathways into understanding writing. This thought-provoking work delves into the long-forgotten reading practice of cutting printed books, shedding new light on the complexities of print culture.

With its radical reinterpretations of established concepts, Cultural Graphology offers a fresh perspective on the nature of writing and its significance in early modern England.
