Abstract "Psychoanalyst and literary scholar Peter L. Rudnytsky trains his critical eye on canonical works from St. Augustine's Confessions to Milton's major poems. Arguing that the Oedipus complex can be viewed as the "latent content" of the Fall, Rudnytsky at once respects the explanatory power of these master-myths while he interrogates their claims to universality. Rudnytsky's synthesis of psychoanalysis, feminism and literary criticism sheds new light on old masterpieces even as it reveals the contours of an entire corpus, and he demonstrates the potentialities of psychoanalytic approaches to literature"-- Provided by publisher.
