The Creative Self

Auteur
Gail Newman (PhD, German Studies, Minnesota) is Harold J. Henry Professor of German, cross-listed with Comparative Literature, at Williams College. She is the author of Locating the Romantic Subject: Novalis with Winnicott (Wayne State, 1997). I chose her as a reader for her interests in psychoanalytic theory, literature and psychoanalysis, and
narrative theory.
