    Book description

    The Cambridge Companion to Literature and Psychoanalysis explains the link between literature and psychoanalysis for students, critics and teachers. It offers a twenty-first century resource for defining and analyzing the psychoanalytic dimensions of human creativity in contemporary society. Essays provide critical perspectives on selected canonical authors, such as William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, and James Baldwin It also offers analysis of contemporary literature of social, sexual and political turmoil, as well as newer forms such as film, graphic narrative, and autofiction. Divided into five sections, each offering the reader different subject areas to explore, this volume shows how psychoanalytic approaches to literature can provide valuable methods of interpretation. It will be a key resource for students, teachers and researchers in the field of literature and psychoanalysis as well as literary theory.

    ‘[The Companion] succeeds resoundingly in representing the capacious variety and depth of the field. … This book should have a lasting impact on both literature and psychoanalysis.’

    Murray M. Schwartz Source: American Imago

    ‘[A] powerful and insightfully edited collection of essays treating the productive and sometimes uneasy coexistence of two unruly disciplines, literature and psychoanalysis.’

    Rita Charon Source: Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association
