Terence Hawkes obituary

[Paul Nightingale]

Until the late 1970s, the works of Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and
their followers were widely dismissed as abstruse jargon. Through his
editorship of the New Accents series of books and Textual Practice,
Britain's first journal of literary theory, Hawkes enabled British students
to encounter, and even to understand, the body of work that has become
collectively known as "postmodernism". He also produced several strikingly
original books on Shakespeare and literary criticism.
