Recenzii
"An impressive academic book that evinces a scrupulous attention to all existing scholarship and a thorough mastery of both Lacanian psychoanalysis and fantasy literature. The author deploys Lacanian psychoanalysis in a subtle yet thoroughly erudite fashion in order to illuminate the literary texts in a way that no previous scholars have done." - Todd McGowan, Associate Professor of Film Studies,University of Vermont
"Sharoni plumbs the heights and depths of late-Victorian and Edwardian fantasy. If we knew that She was one of Freud's favorite novels we grasp only now why Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, Bram Stoker and Rider Haggard had anticipated Lacan and Žižek in their Freudian re-elaborations and offered us so many haunting modern fantasies." - Jean-Michel Rabaté, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of Pennsylvania
