Shakespeare in Psychoanalysis Paperback / softback
by Philip (University of Canterbury, New Zealand.) Armstrong
Part of the Accents on Shakespeare series
Paperback / softback
Description
The link between psychoanalysis as a mode of interpretation and Shakespeare's works is well known.
But rather than merely putting Shakespeare on the couch, Philip Armstrong focuses on the complex and fascinatingly fruitful mutual relationship between Shakespeare's texts and psychoanalytic theory.
He shows how the theories of Freud, Rank, Jones, Lacan, Erikson, and others are themselves in a large part the product of reading Shakespeare. Armstrong provides an introductory cultural history of the relationship between psychoanalytic concepts and Shakespearean texts. This is played out in a variety of expected and unexpected contexts, including: *the early modern stage *Hamlet and The Tempest *Freud's analytic session *the Parisian intellectual scene *Hollywood *the virtual space of the PC.
