The Political Unconscious: Narrative as a Socially Symbolic Act

"The Political Unconscious is a major work, and it should be read by historians, social scientists, and philosophers, as well as by literary scholars."-Hayden White"A major work of critical theory . . . The Political Unconscious integrates and refines a vast body of theoretical work, demonstrating a superb mastery of the field of contemporary criticism. The result . . . is a compelling, forceful argument in favor of the primacy of Marxism over contending strategies of interpretation."-Nineteenth-Century Fiction"Monumental . . . . Its learning and range of references are exceeded only be the imperial embrace of its complex argument, whose elaboration never imposes a sacrifice of clarity. . . . Indispensable for all university and college libraries."-Choice
