This 1986 study of Manon Lescaut draws on various debates in the
fields of psychoanalysis, feminism and literary criticism. It has
two principal aims: to analyse this story of a young man's passion
for a femme fatale as it is presented by the narrator; and to
suggest ways in which feminist criticism can help explain how the
text operates. The volume is in three parts. In Part I, Dr Segal
offers a close reading of Manon Lescaut in which the narrator's
relationship with language is the key issue. Part II considers four
central themes which are present in the text's language and
structure: money, the image of the woman, the concept of the
double, and fatality. In the final part the author presents a
feminist critique of Freud and Lacan, and develops thereby a
fascinating version of the Oedipus Complex which is brought to bear
on Manon Lescaut.
