Jacques Lacan by Martin Murray

Jacques Lacan by Martin Murray

An accessible, sharp and contemporary introduction to Lacan and his work

'Martin Murray talks 'about Lacan' in a way that nobody has before: he explains in crystal clear, easily understandable language not just what the notoriously opaque Lacan's ideas were 'about', but also the various shaping forces -- personal, historical, cultural, ideological, artistic'

-- Jonathan Gil Harris, Dean of Academic Affairs and Professor of English, Ashoka University

'With extraordinary intellectual generosity (and some humour), he forges a form of psychoanalytic sensibility that is vitalised, not exhausted, by the dazzle and difficulty of its subject'

-- Vicky Lebeau, Professor of English, University of Sussex

'This book deserves a space on the shelves of even those who have already amassed a significant number of introductions to Lacanian thought.. Essential'
