The lateral dance

the deconstructive criticism of J. Hillis Miller

Vincent B. Leitch

pp. 253-270

Abstract

These words of J. Hillis Miller make us slightly uncomfortable because they demand that we choose one tradition or another. Without question, the decision involves the "whole shebang". This succinctly formulated "either/or" choice not only asks us to take a stand but foregrounds for us a fundamental rift in contemporary critical theory.
