Jacques Lacan's seminar on ''The Purloined Letter'' at once challenged literary theorists and revealed a radically new conception of psychoanalysis. His far-reaching claims about language and truth provoked a vigorous critique by Jacques Derrida, whose essay in turn has spawned further responses from Barbara Johnson, Jane Gallop, Irene Harvey, Norman Holland, and others.

""A fascinating volume for both the fledgling and the besotted amateurs of contemporary criticism.""
