The topic of the unconscious has figured largely in literary studies for some time. Antony Easthope approaches this controversial subject not in terms of the body but as meanings. Using the writings of Freud and Lacan this text offers chapters on: the existence of the unconscious; the unconscious and the subject; the unconscious and the text; and the unconscious and history. The book shows the existence of the unconscious in a variety of examples - from jokes and rugby songs to Hitchcock's Psycho and the life and death of Princess Diana.
