Description

Adam Phillips explores the connections between literature and psychoanalysis in this deeply engaging collection of essays. He considers what psychoanalysis has meant for writers and how writing can inform psychoanalytic thought, through encounters with and readings of writers such as Byron, Barthes, Shakespeare, and Sebald. Through his unique style, Phillips demonstrates how literature and psychoanalysis can speak to and of each other. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersections between these two fields, offering insights into the ways in which writing can be both a product of and a tool for psychoanalytic inquiry. With its vivid readings and engaging style, this collection will appeal to readers interested in literary theory, psychoanalysis, and the relationships between literature and psychology.
