Pamela Thurschwell explains and contextualises psychoanalytic theory and its meaning for modern thinking. This updated second edition explores developments and responses to Freud's work, including:

  • Tracing contexts and developments of Freud's work over the course of his career
  • Exploring paradoxes and contradictions in his writing
  • Focusing on psychoanalysis as an interpretative strategy, paying special attention to its impact on literary and cultural theory
