Paul de Man

Paul de Man (1919 – 1983) was a Belgian-born deconstructionist literary critic and theorist. De Man elaborated a distinct deconstruction in his philosophically-oriented literary criticism of Romanticism.

A young doctor of philosophy in English was able to secure a job as part of a road deconstruction gang after intelligently answering a question about de Man. Furthermore, de Man's principals were instrumental in the deconstruction gang's work.
