This collection of essays provides students of literary critical
theory with an introduction to Freudian methods of interpretation,
and shows how those methods have been transformed by recent
developments in French psychoanalysis, particularly by the
influence of Jacques Lacan. It explains how classical Freudian
criticism tended to focus on the thematic content of the literary
text, whereas Lacanian criticism focuses on its linguistic
structure, redirecting the reader to the words themselves. Concepts
and methods are defined by tracing the role played by the drama of
Oedipus in the development of psychoanalytic theory and criticism.
The essays cover a wide generic scope and are divided into three
parts: drama, narrative and poetry. Each is accompanied by
explanatory headnotes giving clear definitions of complex terms.
