The Analyst's Ear and the Critic's Eye by Benjamin H Ogden

The Analyst's Ear and the Critic's Eye by Benjamin H Ogden

The Analysts Ear and the Critics Eye is the first volume of literary criticism co-authored by a practicing psychoanalyst and a literary critic.

"What does it mean to read? The Analyst’s Ear and the Critic’s Eye is a book that is probably best read backwardsFull versions or extended extracts of previously published essays on Kafka, Frost, and Philip Roth are reprinted in the appendices, and I think it helps to start with these essays before turning to the three main chapters. It would be a mistake to take the appended texts as read and, therefore, to ignore the context in which they are being re-read. In a book that is primarily concerned with engaged reading, where the interpellation of the individual as a reader may be seen as the main criterion of the book’s achievement, it is important for readers to participate actively in the reading experience."- Steven Groarke, The International Journal of Psychoanalysis

"This book represents cutting edge work that will be of interest to psychoanalytic and literary critics. It will be of interest to literary scholars and those applying psychoanalysis to literature."- Ronald N.Turco, Psychodynamic Psychiatry, 2014

“The premise of the book is that aspects of psychoanalytic listening and reading can uniquely enhance literary criticism and, secondarily, that psychoanalysts can enhance their literary readings by knowing what academics do.” -Ellen Handler Spitz, PhD, Writer, Lecturer, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
