Description

The novels published by Isabelle de Charrière before the French Revolution offer a perceptive account of the psychology and the social climate of the late eighteenth century. The anti-Freudian psychoanalysis of the neurologist and psychiatrist Heinz Kohut (1913-81) is used in this study as a means of developing an awareness of the position of the fictional characters. Feminist and Freudian readings of Charrières novels of the 1780s have stressed the `closed deterministic atmosphere of contemporary society; this new study emphasises what can be called the `modern side of the novels: patriarchal society and individual needs confront each other and allow the relationships to be seen in a new light. By means of Kohuts notion of `selfobject a rich insight is gained into the complex relationships described by Isabelle de Charrière.
