The Bloomsbury Handbook to Literature and Psychoanalysis (Bloomsbury Handbooks)

"Providing the most comprehensive examination of the two-way traffic between literature and psychoanalysis to date, this handbook looks at how each defines the other as well as addressing the key thinkers in psychoanalytic theory (Freud, Klein, Lacan, and the schools of thought each of these has generated). It examines the debts that these psychoanalytic traditions have to literature, and offers plentiful case-studies of literature's influence from psychoanalysis. Engaging with critical issues such as madness, memory, and colonialism, with reference to texts from authors as diverse as Shakespeare, Goethe, and Virginia Woolf, this collection is admirably broad in its scope and wide-ranging in its geographical coverage. It thinks about the impact of psychoanalysis in a wide variety of literatures as well as in film, and critical and cultural theory"-- Provided by publisher Cover Halftitle page Title page Copyright page CONTENTS ILLUSTRATIONS CONTRIBUTORS PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ABBREVIATIONS TO FREUD AND LACAN TEXTS Introduction Literature: The Other of Psychoanalysis JEREMY TAMBLING PSYCHOANALYSIS AND CRITICAL THEORY LITERATURE WHAT IS LITERATURE?
