Psychoanalysis and Storytelling (Bucknell Lectures in Literary Theory)

Psychoanalysis and Storytelling (Bucknell Lectures in Literary Theory) by Brooks, Peter. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780631190080.

Psychoanalysis and Narrative is a clear and exemplary demonstration of the ways in which the vital connections between psychoanalysis and literature can be articulated without reductive simplification. Following Freuds assumption that sexuality and narrative form are analogous, Brooks proposes that literature constitutes a fundamental part of human existence. He supplements the terminology of narrative theory with the rich and suggestive language of psychoanalysis.
