The subsequent chapters on Proust, Sacher-Masoch, and Joyce, read with the later Lacan of Seminars XX and available sections of XXIII, explore and flesh out possible Lacanian readings of masochism and narcissism with regard to paternal (or pseudo-paternal) relationships. ...

The chapter focuses primarily on Agnes Rackham, an embattled upper-class matriarch driven to denial of her motherhood through the religiously informed paradox of the procreative and incarcerated female body. The many intertextual references woven into the book and also its television adaptation (The Exorcist, Jane Eyre and The Woman in White) provide a context for the contemporary reader to grasp the horrific dilemmas of Victorian femininity. Though each of the women are destined for some kind of narrative oblivion (through desertion, watery graves or the threat of the asylum), each must first travel through madness to escape.

This book explores the grounding of Lacan's psychoanalytic work in the intellectual and artistic movements of the modernist period. More specifically, it examines masculine anxiety in the modernist novel in terms of Lacan's work on psychosis, masochism, and narcissism, viewed against the broader cultural context of the modernist era. In the process, this book illustrates how Lacan's intellectual apprenticeships and encounters (both real and imaginary) play out in his mature work, beginning with the first seminars of the 1950s. Like other thinkers of the early twentieth century, the trajectory of Lacan's psychoanalytic career is shaped by tendentious confrontations with peers, forebears, and intellectual traditions.
