Psychic spaces in Harold Pinter's workREFERENCES; INDEX 330 3 $aThis book brings the insights of psychoanalysis to bear on drama in the western dramatic tradition. Plays which are discussed in detail include works by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Chekhov, Wilde, and Beckett among others. The authors seek to show that the subtle understanding of conscious and unconscious emotions achieved by psychoanalytic practice can bring new ways of understanding classic works of drama. The argument of the book, set out in its introduction and exemplified in its discussion of individual dramatists and plays, is that western drama has represented the central tensions of societies as crises in the relationships of gender and generation, through dramatic explorations of the inner life of families. This is the common theme which links the book's analysis of Medea, Macbeth and A Midsummer Night's Dream amongst others. The value of this book lies in the originality of its analysis of individual plays, and the subtlety with which it brings psychoanalytic and sociological insights together. 410 0$aTavistock Clinic series. 606 $aPsychoanalysis and art 606 $aPsychoanalysis and literature 606 $aTheater$xPsychological aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and art. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and literature. 615 0$aTheater$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a616.8917 676 $a809/.93354 700 $aRustin$b Margaret$0223053 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461205203321 996 $aMirror to nature$92110342 997 $aUNINA
