The Puritan heritage is clearly evident in the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne, who wrote about the conflict between the good and evil set in the dark, Puritan, New England past. In his masterpiece The Scarlet Letter he uses a mixture of fantasy and realism, symbols and allegories to explore one of his constant themes: the relationship between the individual and society. Herman Melville dedicated his greatest work, Moby Dick, to Hawthorne, in recognition of his friendship and the contribution he made in revising the first draft of the novel.

Teoreetilised üldistused tuletatakse tekstidest (mitte ei tee kõigepealt mudelit, mida hiljem tekstidele rakendada nagu tegid prantsuse strukturalistid). De Man tegeleb palju Euroopa autoritega. Rilke, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, Rousseau. Üldistab Saussure`i, Jakobsoni, Greimasi, Peirce`i, Todorovi ja teiste vaateid.

Kirjandusteost ei ole võimalik viia ühese tähenduseni. Igas tekstis on midagi, mida ta nimetab vastuoluks e. apooriaks, mis tekitabki paratamatu mitmetähenduslikkuse. Apooriat ei saa taandada ühetähendusliseks, üheks lugemisvõimaluseks. Need on “loetamatud kohad”, tekst dekonstrueerib ennast ise.
