Publisher's Synopsis
This collected volume contains eleven papers dealing with the relationship between Freud's psychoanalysis and the literature of classical modernism (1890-1930). Case studies are used to examine the techniques and modes of representation used to process and re-form the knowledge gained from psychoanalysis. Here attention is also focussed on Freud's own views on literature and literary authorship. Schnitzler, Thomas Mann, Musil and Kafka are among the authors dealt with in the volume.
