Talk:Psychoanalytic literary criticism

Untitled
The links to examples at the John Hopkins University require an $80 pre-paid subscription to be viewed. It doesn't seem to make much sense to include links to information only a certain few people can access.

The links at the bottom of this article are USELESS for probably 99% of the people who view this article, so I agree with the person above.


 * I don't see what it hurts to include the links -- many academic institutions have subscriptions, and so many readers (who will tend to be students for an article like this) will be able to read the JHU Guide articles, which are much longer and more detailed than this one. For other readers, it's just like providing a reference to the book: you can decide whether to pursue it by buying the book, buying the web subscription, or finding the book in a library. -- Rbellin|Talk 05:35, 18 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I have an academic affiliation and cannot access the linked articles without paying money. I think these articles are far from being authoritative sources on psychoanalytic literary criticism anyway.  72.207.38.114 (talk) 07:26, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Mauron should have his own page and not be here
By placing one theorist in his/her own heading, you are presenting this person as a major theorist in the field. If you really believe that Mauron is important, than he should have his own page, with a link to it. But to suggest that his argument is more important than those of Peter Brooks, Freud, Lacan, Harold Bloom, Zizek, Elizabeth Wright and others would be difficult considering the current literature on the subject. I see that there is a French page about him, but no English page. This information should be moved to an English page.

Also, historical facts should be written in the past tense! Arguments that continue to exist in the form or a text should be in the present.

 * Have moved Mauron into a wider context of psy lit crit methods, including Bloom and Lacan, as suggested aboveJacobisq (talk) 10:31, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Content Removed
I removed a long section about Psychoanalysis in the middle of the paragraph. It was a duplication of information appropriate to the main article on Psychoanalysis without any explanation of its relevance in literary criticism. I think further information about Psy. should only be added if its immediate relevance for literary criticism is included. Dozenthey (talk) 00:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Detagging time?
