What role did Geoffrey H. Hartman play in the Yale school of deconstruction?

Geoffrey H. Hartman was a member of the Yale school, a group of literary critics at Yale University known for their deconstructionist theories in the 1970s and 1980s.12

While Hartman contributed to the school's deconstructive manifesto, Deconstruction and Criticism (1979), he is considered only loosely associated with the group. His role was characterized by a continuous engagement with and modification of various theoretical assumptions rather than strict adherence to a single doctrine. Notably, his own writings were frequently critical of the Yale school's broader tendencies.12

Hartman’s broader career was defined by his opposition to Anglo-American formalism and his efforts to integrate literary criticism with history and philosophy, championing the idea that criticism is a creative act rather than a secondary or inferior discourse.1
