controversy for a long time to come."--Los Angeles Times Book
Review
"Gay is one of those rare academics whose competence in
psychoanalysis is hardly less than his expertise in historical
research."--The New York Times Book Review
"An impassioned, compelling argument for the utility of the
psychoanalytic perspective to inform historical studies."--Library
Journal

Guardian (London)
"Delightful....Gay deals constructively and candidly with genuine
difficulties historians have found with Freud....We should all be
grateful for this graceful, wise, and witty essay that makes us
more sensitive to the complexities of the human experience and
urges historians to join forces with psychoanalysts in an amicable
search for the truth about the past."--American Historical Review
