Freud and forbidden knowledge

Mehr zum Buch

From the Freudian perspective that literature and myth are sources of knowledge useful to the analyst and the patient, nine scholars from a wide range of disciplines examine works, from the Hebrew Bible through Boccaccio to Shakespeare, that explore the tragic dimensions of human experience. They reflect the feminist and post-colonial pressure both to re-examine and to expand the canon of western literature. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
