Deconstruction As Devil's Advocacy: A Shavian Alternative

The contention in this essay is that while Bernard Shaw could not be called a deconstructionist, at least nothing a Derridean would so call, nevertheless there is deconstructive activity of a significant kind and degree in his work, worthy of investigation for its own sake. In the Shavian quality of devil' s advocacy to be found within such activity may also lie a clue to the future of deconstruction, one, in fact, already adumbrated in the accounts of such critics as Christopher Norris and Jonathan Cullers.
