Memories And Dreams : A Freudian Look At Proust, Barbara Alexander Baroody
Memories And Dreams : A Freudian Look At Proust, Barbara Alexander Baroody
Master's Theses
Proust, born some fifteen years after Freud; was equally fascinated with the potential for the unconscious mind. He was obsessed by the desire to overcome the destructive force of Time and assure tor himself a place in eternity. He wanted to project himself into the future by creating a work of art, for he believed that Art, alone surpassed Time. His work of art would be a novel, but rather than simply recounting past experiences, he sought to actually bring them to life again by evoking in the reader the same sensations he experienced.
