Beschreibung:
"Focusing on ten key writers and scholars who either passionately loved or gleefully loathed Freud, this book represents Freud's wide legacy, the reach of his ideas, their controversies, and their ability still to provoke, inspire, confound, outrage, and compel. Writers examined include D.H. Lawrence, Vladimir Nabokov, Harold Bloom and Deborah P. Britzman"--
