Sobre IBD

Providing the most comprehensive examination of the two-way traffic between literature and psychoanalysis to date, this handbook looks at how each defines the other as well as addressing the key thinkers in psychoanalytic theory (Freud, Klein, Lacan, and the schools of thought each of these has generated). It examines the debts that these psychoanalytic traditions have to literature, and offers plentiful case-studies of literature’s influence from psychoanalysis. Engaging with critical issues such as madness, memory, and colonialism, with reference to texts from authors as diverse as Shakespeare, Goethe, and Virginia Woolf, this collection is admirably broad in its scope and wide-ranging in its geographical coverage. It thinks about the impact of psychoanalysis in a wide variety of literatures as well as in film, and critical and cultural theory.

    Jeremy Tambling
    This book is about the impact of literature upon cities world-wide, and cities upon literature.

  • Dickens’ Novels as Poetry
    Jeremy Tambling
    Visiting the language, style, and poetry of Dickens’ novels, this study reads these works as a form of poetry. Arguing that Dickens sees language as always double, it draws on Victorian texts and current critical theory to explore Dickens’ interest in literature and popular song, and in jokes, caricature, word-play, and naming. Examining Dickens’ key novels, Tambling uses caric...
