Description and Table of Contents

Description

Divided into two parts - concepts and movements - the structure is clear and accessible. Each chapter builds on the material presented in the previous chapters, allowing the reader to progress from little or no background in psychoanalysis, philosophy or literary theory to the ability to engage actively with the relatively sophisticated ideas presented in later sections of the work. Provides a complete and clear introduction to psychoanalytic literary criticism.
