书目名称 | Narcissism and Selfhood in Medieval French Literature | 副标题 | Wounds of Desire | 编辑 | Nicholas Ealy | 视频video | | 概述 | Studies the influence of classical mythology on medieval literature.Explores connections between the contemporary study of psychoanalysis and trauma studies with medieval literature.Examines selfhood | 丛书名称 | The New Middle Ages | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | .This book offers analyses of texts from medieval France influenced by Ovid’s myth of Narcissus including the .Lay of Narcissus., Alain de Lille’s .Plaint of Nature., René d’Anjou’s .Love-Smitten Heart., Chrétien de Troyes’s .Story of the Grail .and Guillaume de Machaut’s .Fountain of Love.. Together, these texts form a corpus exploring human selfhood as wounded and undone by desire. Emerging in the twelfth century in Western Europe, this discourse of the wounded self has survived with ever-increasing importance, informing contemporary methods of theoretical inquiry into mourning, melancholy, trauma and testimony. Taking its cue from the moment Narcissus bruises himself upon learning he cannot receive the love he wants from his reflection, this book argues that the construct of the wounded self emphasizes fantasy over reality, and that only through the world of the imagination—of literature itself—can our narcissistic injuries seemingly be healed and desire fulfilled.. | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | Ovid‘s Metamorphoses; Narcissus; narcissism in literature; the self in medieval literature; medieval Fre | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-27916-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-27918-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-27916-5Series ISSN 2945-5936 Series E-ISSN 2945-5944 | issn_series | 2945-5936 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
