Henceforth in this book citations from James's works will be identified by volume and page number in this edition, which is a reprint of the New York Edition of 1907-9. I have discussed the preface to The Golden Bowl, though without explicit reference to speech act theory, in The Ethics of Reading (New York: Columbia University Press, 1987), 101-22.

The passages I cite from Derrida are full of puns and wordplay that are difficult to translate, to say the least. Appeller means "call," while rappeler means, among other senses, "to call back, to summon up, to restore," and se rappeler means "to recollect, to remember, to recall to mind." Tu means "you" in the singular, "thou," but it is also the past participle of taire, "not to say, to keep hidden."
