Sinopsis

"In the destructive element immerse". These words from Joseph Conrad's Stein in "Lord Jim" cast a shadow over 20th-century literature. At the same time, Freud's prognosis of culture's discontents left psychoanalysis with a legacy that found one of its realizations in the play-rooms of British child psychoanalysis. This text offers a perspective on the history of our interest in culture's discontents by returning to British psychoanalysis and second-wave modernism. Those featured in the book include Melanie Klein, Virginia Woolf and Stevie Smith.
