| Summary |
"Leo Abse deploys his forensic skills as a distinguished criminal lawyer and reforming parliamentarian to present a novel Freudian overview of all Daniel Defoe's major works. Weaving the anecdotal and the personal with profound revelatory explorations of the psychodynamics and psychopathology of Defoe, his conclusions will precipitate debate in university departments, startle many literary critics and be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, criminologists and all working in the field of mental health."--Jacket. |
