摘要

摘要：本文考察了1926年至2010年间出版的11本文学寡妇回忆录。它们有崇拜的，也有苦涩的。他们的主要主题是婚姻中的冲突、统治和顺从的斗争、不忠和酗酒的痛苦、怨恨和愤怒的表达。他们都将自己定义为与丈夫的关系，但需要挣脱束缚，重新获得自己的身份，讲述自己的故事。有些人以牺牲作者的艺术成就为代价强调作者的个人过错，他们的文学努力不可避免地受到评论家的批评，因为他们利用了作者的名字或没有认识到他的艺术价值。弗里达·劳伦斯、艾琳·辛普森和克莱尔·布鲁姆的最佳回忆录具有风格、洞察力和同情心。

Intimacy and Revenge: The Psychological Dynamics of Literary Widows

Abstract:This essay examines eleven memoirs written by literary widows and published between 1926 and 2010. They range from adoring to bitter. Their major themes are the conflicts in marriage, the struggle for dominance and submission, the suffering from infidelity and alcoholism, the expression of resentment and anger. They all define themselves in relation to their husbands, yet need to break away, regain their own identity and tell their own story. Some emphasize the writer's personal faults at the expense of his artistic achievement, and their literary efforts were inevitably criticized by reviewers for exploiting the author's name or for failing to recognize his artistic value. The best memoirs—by Frieda Lawrence, Eileen Simpson and Claire Bloom—have style, insight and compassion.

期刊介绍： Founded in 1939 by Sigmund Freud and Hanns Sachs, AMERICAN IMAGO is the preeminent scholarly journal of psychoanalysis. Appearing quarterly, AMERICAN IMAGO publishes innovative articles on the history and theory of psychoanalysis as well as on the reciprocal relations between psychoanalysis and the broad range of disciplines that constitute the human sciences. Since 2001, the journal has been edited by Peter L. Rudnytsky, who has made each issue a "special issue" and introduced a topical book review section, with a guest editor for every Fall issue.
