Reviews
Effortlessly integrating his amazing archival research, Bernheimer gives readers the sense of being in a collegial seminar with him.
An excellent book by a well-known authority in the areas of European literature, culture, and psychoanalysis.
Charlie had many friends, admirers and intellectual interlocutors in the field, and the book will find an important place with them, both as a homage to his memory, and as a testimonial to the kind of literary-historical-psychoanalytical scholarship he represented in literary studies.
