Media Reviews

“The attention given to what I think is essential in my research-the semiotic and symbolic, rejection, negativity, practice, in particular their close connection with Husserl, Hagel, and Freud- is unique among works which have previously dealt with my books.” Julia Kristeva

“For this reader’s money. Payne’s discussion is the best non-polemical introduction to Lacan he has come across.” Jesse W. Nash, History of European Ideas

“I have never read a more lucid explanation of Derrida’s ideas.” James R. Bennett, Style

“Reading Theory is an enormously study and, given its complexity, remarkably accessible.” John Schad, Review of English Studies
