This book is concerned with the continuing viability of both Freud
and Hegel to the reading of modern literature. The book begins with
Julia Kristeva's attempts to relate Hegelian thought to a
psychoanalytically informed conception of semiotics that was first
explored in her influential study, The Revolution of Poetic
Language, and then modified in later books that develop semiotics
in new directions. Kristeva's agreements and disagreement with
Hegel are important to the book's argument, which ultimately
defends Hegel against familiar, poststructuralist detractions.
However, the book's conceptual argument requires a historical
exposition, with chapters devoted to literary figures ranging from
Spenser to Ishiguro. One of the purposes of the book is to
demonstrate that Hegel's contribution to modern thought is at least
partially exhibited in the history of literature, which also
corroborates some of the deeper insights of psychoanalysis.
