| Nota di contenuto | I owned to great egotism the neurotic model in Woolf criticism -- Never was anyone so tossed up & down by the body as I am The sympotom of manic-depression illness -- But what is the meaning of explained it countertransference and modernism -- In casting accounts, never forget to begin with the state of the body genetics and the Stephen family line -- How completely he satisfied her is proved by the collapse emblematic events in family history -- How immense must be the force of life the art of autobiography and Woolf's bipolar theory of being -- A novel devoted to influenza reading without resolution in the voyage out -- Does anybody know Mr. Flanders? Bipolar cognition and syncretistic vision in Jacob's Room -- The sane & insane, side by side the object-relation of self-management in Mrs. Dalloway -- It is finished ambivalence resolved, self restored in To the Light house -- I do not know altogether who I am the plurality of intrasubjective life in the Waves. |
