To the Editor:
Your recent dialogue on deconstruction recalled an experience I had early in my teaching career, in the 1970s. As a recent PhD I was eager to attend the English Institute, then being held at Harvard. Among the featured speakers were Frank Kermode, then at Cambridge University and Paul de Man, from Yale. Their topic was the work of Roland Barthes.
