Shandean Psychoanalysis: Tristram Shandy, Madness and Trauma
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032125128 | 303 Pages | PDF (True) | 3.4 MB
Françoise Davoine explores the entire novel-each of her chapters corresponding to a volume of the novel-viewing it through a psychoanalytic lens: the monologue by Tristram's embryo in the opening chapter, the war traumas of Captain Toby and Corporal Trim and several key themes, including confinement, love and history. In parallel to her own analytic comments on these inventions, Françoise Davoine follows the writing ofthe novel itself, keeping the reader constantly aware that Sterne's endeavour is a race against death-his own. Davoine points out that time acts as a major character in the novel, constantly upsetting chronology, and bringing about the same impasses as the psychoanalysis of madness and trauma does.
