Formalism and the Freudian Aesthetic - Linda Hutcheon - Bog

This study has a double focus: in the first place, it seeks to chart the parallel re-evaluation of both formalism and psychology in twentieth-century literary theory by using the work and career of the French literary critic, Charles Mauron (1899-1966) as a scaffolding. Secondly, it addresses the broader issue of objectivity and subjectivity in literary criticism.
