What makes one reader look for issues of social conformity in
Kafka's "Metamorphosis" while another concentrates on the
relationship between Gregor Samsa and his father?
"Self-Analysis in Literary Study" investigates how the
psychoanalytic self-analysis enables readers to gain a deeper
understanding of literature as well as themselves.
In the past scholars have largely ignored self-analysis as an
aid to approaching literature. The contributors in "Self-Analysis
in Literary Study" boldly explore how the psyche affects
intellectual intellectual discovery in the realm of applied
psychoanalysis.
Jeffrey Berman confronts a close friend's suicide through Camus
and his student's diaries, kept for an English class. Language,
family history, and an attachment to Kafka are addressed in David
Bleich's essay. Barbara Ann Schapiro writes of her attraction to
Virginia Woolf during her emotional senior year of college. Other
essayists include Daniel Rancour-Laferriere, Norman N. Holland,
Bernard J. Paris, Steven Rosen, and Michael Steig.
Written for both scholars in the fields of psychology and
literature and for a general audience intrigued by self- analysis
as a tool for gaining insight, "Self-Analysis in Literary Study"
answers traditional questions about literature and raises
challenging new ones.
