Eugenio Donato
Eugenio Donato (17 August 1937 – 19 September 1983)[1] was an Armenian-Italian deconstructionist, literary critic, and "philosophical critic". Raised in Egypt, and educated in France, he played an important role in teaching Americans how to read post-structural theory.
He edited, with Richard A. Macksey, the book The Structuralist Controversy: The Languages of Criticism and the Sciences of Man.
Donato died on September 19, 1983, aged 46.[2] His book The Script of Decadence: Essays on the Fictions of Flaubert and the Poetics of Romanticism was published posthumously by Oxford University Press in 1993. His archives are held at the University of California, Irvine.
