| Description: |
Delves into the questions that keep us awake at night, into issues of privacy and publishing, exposure and shame. This work explores this affinity with modernism and asks what it can tell us about the limits of knowledge, both about the intimate and baffling components of experience and about the furthest, hallucinatory, reaches of the mind. |
| Synopsis: |
In these powerful essays Jacqueline Rose delves into the questions that keep us awake at night, into issues of privacy and publishing, exposure and shame. Do some women writers - Christina Rossetti, Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath - have a special talent for self-revelation? Or are they simply more vulnerable to the invasions of biography? Turning to psychoanalysis, Rose explores its affinity with modernism and asks what it can tell us about the limits of knowledge, both about the most intimate and baffling components of experience and about the furthest, hallucinatory, reaches of the mind. These fine studies move deftly between public, political and private, unconscious worlds. Offering new links between feminism, psychoanalysis, literature and politics, On Not Being Able to Sleep provides a resonant and thought provoking collection for the present day. |
