Reviews

An important, cogently argued, subtle and rich study of a topic of great interest. - Mieke Bal, University of Amsterdam ""A work of literary studies positioned at the intersection of tradition and innovation. Evelyne Ender's book brings fashionable cultural concerns to bear on traditional literary texts - her superb pedagogical skills lure and guide the reader through the most difficult psychoanalytical concepts."" - Nelly Furman, Cornell University
