This page of an assignment by Jacques Derrida on Shakespeare is quite wonderful. He would have been 19-20 years old, while in a khâgne class – post-school, pre-university. While the teacher’s comment that some of this is ‘quite unintelligible’ is very funny; I also like the suggestion that he should “read a lot… pen in hand”. Seems he took that advice very seriously… The page is from an exhibit of Derrida’s papers at UC Irvine.
