Buy Now!	History on the Couch Highlights the ways in which the emotional life, identity formation and the relationship between self and society can inform histories both of individuals and of nations. 'memory is the bridge shared by both psychoanalysis and history, for the processes of remembering and forgetting are central to both' So why have historians been reluctant to use the tools of psychoanalysis, one of the most influential developments in thought of the last century? This collection of essays puts history on the couch, exploring how psychoanalytic thought might enhance our exploration of the past. Drawing on the work of Freud and later theorists, the authors tackle this complex and sometimes uneasy relationship through theory and historical practice. Such issues as class, race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality are inextricably tied up in this dialogue between disciplines. History on the Couch highlights the ways in which the emotional life, identity formation and the relationship between self and society can inform histories both of individuals and of nations.

Buy Now!	Iris Murdoch as I Knew Her Andrew Wilson had John Bayley as his tutor at Oxford where he met Iris Murdoch. He remained a close friend of them both throughout her life. It was at Iris' pleading in 1988 that Andrew agreed to write her biography. Bound to be controversial, Andrew pulls no punches in his view on the recent cinematic portrayal of Iris as an Alzheimer's victim. Instead, he gives us back the fiercely intelligent novelist and philosopher, and shows us a relationship that was deeply loving yet profoundly eccentric and very unconventional for its day. By: A.N.
