Lions at Lamb House: Freud's "Lost" Analysis of Henry James Review
"This wonderful novel discloses the nature of two monumental minds, making each more dazzling in the process. . . . A rare book, as moving as it is thoughtful."-Roger Rosenblatt
In 1908, an Austrian psychiatrist visits southern England at the urgent request of a Boston colleague, who fears his brother's intention to rewrite his early novels may be the sign of debilitating neuroses. The Austrian doctor is Sigmund Freud. The Boston psychologist is William James, and the novelist is his brother Henry. Over ten days, the worlds of psychology and literature collide-giving rise to this charming novel of ideas.
