Freud's Theory and Its Use in Literary and
Cultural Studies
This is as good an introductory text as one can possibly hope for. -- Peter Gay [Henk de Berg] pairs a brief, clear introduction to Freud and a demonstration of how thinking about Freud can enrich literary and cultural studies. His Freud is one of the most convincing assessments of that oft-maligned thinker in years... The book reconstructs a Freud of deep human sympathies, wide reading, and wide-ranging importance... Well researched and including a brief bibliography.... Highly recommended. CHOICE [The book] is clearly and forcefully written, keeps technical language to a minimum, brings in numerous real-life examples ... and firmly opposes many of the current clichés about Freud and psychoanalysis. AMERICAN IMAGO Clear,
lively, unpedantic.... It serves its purpose well.
