This volume is an introduction to the relationship between
psychoanalysis and literature. Jean-Michel Rabate takes Sigmund
Freud as his point of departure, studying in detail Freud's
integration of literature in the training of psychoanalysts and how
literature provided crucial terms for his myriad theories, such as
the Oedipus complex. Rabate subsequently surveys other
theoreticians such as Wilfred Bion, Marie Bonaparte, Carl Jung,
Jacques Lacan, and Slavoj Zizek. This Introduction is organized
thematically, examining in detail important terms like deferred
action, fantasy, hysteria, paranoia, sublimation, the uncanny,
trauma, and perversion. Using examples from Miguel de Cervantes and
William Shakespeare to Sophie Calle and Yann Martel, Rabate
demonstrates that the psychoanalytic approach to literature,
despite its erstwhile controversy, has recently reemerged as a
dynamic method of interpretation.
