Overview
Continuing his lifelong professional interest in endeavoring to understand some of the highly complex determinants of the personalities of creative individuals, Alexander Grinstein uses a psychoanalytic approach to provide another dimension to understanding Beatrix Potter - the internationally famous author of The Tale of Peter Rabbit and other celebrated stories for children. Beatrix Potter combined the talent of a highly gifted artist with a vivid literary style. The result of her work was both intensely personal and universally appealing. Exploring her stories in detail and coordinating this with the known material about her private life as well as unpublished letters in private collections, Grinstein throws fresh light on her multifaceted personality and especially aspects of her fascinating inner life.Editorials
