Overview
Dynamic Psychology in Modern British Fiction argues that literary critics have tended to distort the impact of pre-Freudian psychological discourses, including psychical research, on modern British fiction. This project focuses on the Edwardian novelists most fully engaged by dynamic psychology, May Sinclair, and J.D. Beresford, but also reconsiders Arnold Bennett and D.H. Lawrence and concludes by demonstrating Woolf's subtle assimilation of pre-Freudian discourse.
