Since its foundation a little over a century ago, psychoanalysis
has been fascinated by literature. Freud himself was fond of saying
that poets were there before him, hinting that the findings of
psychoanalysis were foreshadowed in works of literature.
Sophocles's Oedipus Rex and Shakespeare's Hamlet are only the most
famous literary works around which Freud developed his ideas - but
literature appears 'in' psychoanalysis in the shape of Freud's
brilliant and inventive storytelling, as well as in explicit
theoretical themes. Literature in Psychoanalysis explores the
ongoing dialogue between literature and psychoanalysis in
contemporary essays that revisit and revise classic Freudian
positions (such as Freud's and Jones's reading of Hamlet, and
Freud's account of the 'uncanny') and consider literary treatments
of the analytic (including Nicolas Abraham's remarkable 'Sixth Act'
to Hamlet and Helene Cixous's feminist dramatization of Freud's
'Dora' case history in Portrait of Dora). The volume also presents
the use of literary terms in the post-Freudian history of Freud's
'Wolf Man' through the stunning work of Nicolas Abraham and Maria
Torok on the Wolf Man's buried 'magic word'.Resisting the idea of
'applying' psychoanalytic theory to literature, Steve Vine's
collection, along with his helpful introductory notes to each
section and essay, shows the ways in which literature and
psychoanalysis are involved with each other. It is an invaluable
resource for teachers and students of literature and theory alike,
and for all those with a general interest in the interaction
between literature and psychoanalysis.
