Böcker av Teckyoung Kwon

This book discusses consciousness using the teachings of Freud, William James, and recent neuroscientists, as well as the narrative techniques that Henry James devised to represent consciousness: ghosts and Free Indirect Discourse. By applying these scientific terms of memory, emotions, and empathy, a new reading of Henry's novels is achieved.

Teckyoung Kwon examines Nabokov's use of literary devices that draw upon psychology and biology, characters that imitate Freud or Nabokov in behavior or thought, and Jamesian concepts of time, memory, and consciousness in The Defense, Despair, Lolita, Pale Fire, and Ada.
