    • 1978, Jacques Derrida, Writing and Difference, page 14:
      If one takes care to confine classical literary history to its role as an "indispensable" "auxiliary," as "prologomenon and restraint", one risks overlooking another history, more difficult to conceive: the history of the meaning of the work itself, of its operation.
