An original, wide-ranging contribution to the study of French
writing in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this book
examines the ways in which the unconscious was understood in
literature in the years before Freud. Exploring the influence of
medical and psychological discourse over the existence and/or
potential nature of the unconscious, Michael R. Finn discusses the
resistance of feminists opposing medical diagnoses of the female
brain as the seat of the unconscious, the hypnotism craze of the
1880s and the fascination, in fiction, with dual personality and
posthypnotic crimes. The heart of the study explores how the
unconscious inserts itself into the writing practice of Flaubert,
Maupassant and Proust. Through the presentation of scientific
evidence and quarrels about the psyche, Michael R. Finn is able to
show the work of such writers in a completely new light.
