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.
