- Abstract
Jennifer Spitzer's book, "Secret Sharers: The Intimate Rivalries of Modernism and Psychoanalysis," explores the complex relationships between literature and psychoanalysis during the modernist period. Spitzer focuses on four literary figures - D.H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, W.H. Auden, and Vladimir Nabokov - to illustrate the intricate engagement with psychoanalysis that writers could not avoid, even if they disagreed with it. The book also examines the debates about literature's relationship with the natural sciences and the political implications of psychoanalytic theories. Spitzer concludes by discussing the contemporary relevance of these debates and the possibilities of reading suspiciously and psychoanalytically without imposing discursive mastery.
