The Erotic Motive in Literature
by Albert Mordell
Publisher: Boni and Liveright 1919
ISBN/ASIN: 1870495098
Number of pages: 270
Description:
This work is an endeavour to apply some of the methods of psychoanalysis to literature. It attempts to read closely between the lines of an author's works. It applies some principles in interpreting literature with a scrutiny hitherto scarcely deemed permissible. Only such suggestions have been set down whose application has been rendered fairly unimpeachable by science and experience.
