ANNOUNCING
The Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud The long-awaited Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud preserves the original Standard Edition translation from the German by James Strachey, while adding a new layer of revisions and translations with explanatory annotations under the executive editorship of neuroscientist, psychoanalyst, and Freud scholar Mark Solms. The Revised Standard Edition also presents material not previously translated into English, including 56 lectures, drafts, letters, forewords, and other works of interest. This groundbreaking update of the Standard Edition—which was first published 60 years ago—revises errors and mistranslations while retaining the original translation for comparison.

underlining distinguishes Mark Solms’s revisions and additions in an easy and accessible way, highlighting where there are differences from the old Standard Edition. Readers can examine what Strachey contributed before the revisions, in tandem with Solms’s updates, retranslations, and notes which bring Freudian material into dialogue with the most recent 21st-century developments in the field. Commissioned by the British Psychoanalytical Society and co-published by Rowman & Littlefield, the 24-volume Revised Standard Edition brings together decades of scholarly deliberation concerning the translation of Freudian technical terms while retaining the best of Strachey’s original English translation. This landmark work will captivate a wide audience, from interested lay readers to practicing clinicians to scientists and scholars in fields related to psychoanalysis.

The six novels that John Edgar Wideman wrote from 1987 to 2017 enable reassessment of the quarantining of the Black Arts movement by African American literary history. These works transform the novel into a charm or functional tool of the black arts, taking writing beyond the act of written representation.
This book expands on a literary tradition where Black writers articulate the impact of slavery's legacy over time. Along with Black Feminist studies, this book demonstrates how trauma studies can transcend Eurocentric roots by encompassing traumatic experiences of other cultures through intersectionality.

This book studies fictional homespaces in African American literature from those set in the time of slavery to modern urban configurations of the homespace. The author examines the factors that influence homespaces in African American literature and analyzes why African American writers often portray troubling and dysfunctional homespaces.
This book addresses five American Modernist novels in light of Lacanian psychoanalytic theory. Deploying his own innovative form of literary analysis, what he calls "performance criticism," Dolis (psycho)analyzes the narrative unconscious of each text to excavate a discourse "other" than the story being "told."

Comparable to his acclaimed novels in complexity and covert meaning, they reveal upon close analysis his distinctive literary creativity and enduring concerns with society.

The author o�ers a series of thematically arranged close readings that explore Gutiérrez’s interpretation of life and reality via his signature semi-autobiographical narrative.

Young adult literature uses literary sidekicks in new and exciting ways, which changes how sidekicks are understood. Three ways authors elevate sidekicks include letting sidekicks “evolve” over the course of multiple texts, using parallel novels to add complexity to a sidekick’s characterization, and telling a story from the sidekick’s perspective.
