Criticism
in
theWilderness
The Study of Literature Today
Geoffrey H. Hartman
A vigorous defense from a historical perspective of avant-garde
literary criticism. Interweaving close readings of nineteenth–
and twentieth-century critical texts ranging from Arnold and
Pater to Bloom and Derrida with close readings of literary
works from the same period, this eloquent book will have
a lasting impact on literary and cultural criticism. $18.00
Walter Pater's
Art
ofAutobiography
Gerald Monsman
Approaching Pater from the direction of autobiography and
artistic self-consciousness, Monsman constructs a psychological
profile of the artist who is mirrored in the texts. Pater's writing,
Monsman shows, points the way toward a sweeping change in
the intellectual milieu, a change leading to the ultra-reflexive
works of such twentieth-century writers as Borges, Beckett,
Nabokov, or Barth. $12.50
Returning to Freud
Clinical Psychoanalysis in the School of Lacan
Select~ons
edited and translated by Stuart Schneiderman
Sometimes described as lithe most controversial Freudian since
Freud;' Jacques Lacan has aroused considerable interest
worldwide. Until now, however, his work has been known to
Americans only through theoretical writings. This book
supplies a much-needed overview of how psychoanalysis is
actually practiced in Lacan's school, and in doing so it makes
Lacanian thought and analysis more accessible to a broad
spectrum of readers. $20.00
