This is an original study aiming to explain fully Lacanian thought
and apply it to the study of literary texts.In contemporary
academic literary studies, Lacan is often considered impenetrably
obscure, due to the unavailability of his late works, insufficient
articulation of his methodologies and sometimes stereotypical use
of Lacanian concepts in literary theory.This study aims to
integrate Lacan into contemporary literary study by engaging with a
broad range of Lacanian theoretical concepts, often for the first
time in English, and using them to analyse a range of key texts
from different periods.Azari explores Lacan's theory of desire as
well as his final theories of lituraterre, littoral, and the
sinthome and interrogates a range of poststructuralist interpretive
approaches. In the second part of the book, he outlines the variety
of ways in which Lacanian theory can be applied to literary texts
and offers detailed readings of texts by Shakespeare, Donne, Joyce
and Ashbery. This ground-breaking study provides original insights
into a number of the most influential intellectual discussions in
relation to Lacan and will fill a recognised gap in understanding
Lacan and his legacy for literary study and criticism.
