Mousetraps and the Moon
Author: Robert WilcocksPublisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 9780739101582
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Intended as a follow-up to the author's earlier work, Maelzel's Chess Player: Sigmund Freud and the Rhetoric of Deceit (1994), this text looks at how Freud carried out his research and medical duties in the early years. Wilcocks (modern French literature, U. of Alberta, Edmonton) finds the picture to be less than flattering. His contention is that Freud's great influence may be attributed to his mastery of language, rather than his insight into human beings, and that he was "frequently dishonest and mostly incompetent" (from the introduction).

The Cambridge Companion to the Twentieth-Century English Novel
Author: Robert L. CaserioPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139828339
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
The twentieth-century English novel encompasses a vast body of work, and one of the most important and most widely read genres of literature. Balancing close readings of particular novels with a comprehensive survey of the last century of published fiction, this Companion introduces readers to more than a hundred major and minor novelists. It demonstrates continuities in novel-writing that bridge the century's pre- and post-War halves and presents leading critical ideas about English fiction's themes and forms. The essays examine the endurance of modernist style throughout the century, the role of nationality and the contested role of the English language in all its forms, and the relationships between realism and other fictional modes: fantasy, romance, science fiction. Students, scholars and readers will find this Companion an indispensable guide to the history of the English novel.
