This original study investigates the role played by literature in
Sigmund Freud's creation and development of psychoanalysis. Graham
Frankland analyses the whole range of Freud's own texts from a
literary-critical perspective, providing a comprehensive
reappraisal of his life's work. Freud was steeped in classical
European literature but seems initially to have repressed all
literary influences on his scientific work. Frankland traces their
re-emergence, examining in detail Freud's many literary allusions
and quotations as well as the rhetoric and imagery of his writing.
He explores Freud's own attempts at analysing literature, the
influence of literary criticism on his approach to analysing
patients and his creation of psychoanalytical 'novels',
quasi-literary fictions fraught with profoundly personal subtexts.
Freud's Literary Culture sheds new light on a multi-faceted,
contradictory writer who continues to have an unparalleled impact
on our postmodern culture precisely because he was so deeply rooted
in European literary tradition.
