description: This book offers new readings of several prominent early modern texts, arguing that contemporary psychoanalytic theory written in light of the work of Julia Kristeva and Jacques Lacan affords a precise understanding of the connection between melancholia, narcissism, sexual difference, and literary form in works by Tasso, Marvell, Shakespeare, and Webster.
