The Poetics of Psychoanalysis: In the Wake of Klein explores the
literary aspects of the twentieth-century psychoanalytic tradition
that has come to be known as British Object Relations
psychoanalysis. Focusing on Melanie Klein's legacy to
psychoanalysis between the 1930s and 1970s, it deals with major
figures such as Riviere, Isaacs, Winnicott, Milner, and Bion, as
well as Klein's contemporary, Ella Sharpe. Mary Jacobus breaks new
ground by giving a central place to the literary and aesthetic
concerns of the British Object Relations tradition. Paying close
attention to writing that is often side-lined by literary critics
and theorists, she makes fruitful connections with particular works
of literature and art, along with pressing contemporary issues. The
three sections focus on the transitions, mediations, and
transformations that took place in British Object Relations
psychoanalysis as Klein's ideas were developed and transformed.
Situating Kleinian thought in relation to later developments and
differences, while making it accessible to non-psychoanalytic
readers, The Poetics of Psychoanalysis argues against the
separation of British and continental traditions and for the
continuing links between psychoanalysis and aesthetics. Rather than
applying psychoanalytic ideas to literature and aesthetics, the
book traces the British Object Relations tradition as a form of
proto-modernist discourse in its own right. Linked by a common
thread of ideas and structured to reflect a roughly chronological
trajectory, individual chapters can also be read as free-standing
critical essays. Aimed at literary readers, this book will also be
of interest to psychoanalytic practitioners and cultural theorists.
