explores Freud’s personal makes an attempt at analysing literature, the influence
of literary feedback on his method of analysing sufferers, and his
creation of psychoanalytical ‘novels’, quasi-literary fictions fraught
with profoundly own subtexts. Freud’s Literary tradition sheds new
light on a multi-faceted, contradictory author who maintains to have
an exceptional impression on our postmodern tradition precisely
because he used to be so deeply rooted in ecu literary culture.
