Notes Works Cited Index
"I particularly like the way in which Wardi reads Kristeva in relation to other important psychoanalytic figures, such as Klein, Freud, Winnicott, and Lacan. Overall, I think that Wardi's affirmative reading of Kristeva, especially in relation to Klein, is both compelling and astute. In her close attention to the poetics of Kristeva, Wardi has not overlooked the most important aspect of Kristevian scholarship. I have not read many books which take Kristeva this seriously on this sophisticated a level." - Linda Belau, Department of Comparative Literature, Binghamton University
"The basic premise of the book-that Kristevan poetics can shed light on Thomas' work and vice-versa-reveals unexpected ramifications of each. The theoretical issues posed are fundamental ones, and the readings of Thomas often satisfying and surprising. The work will be useful to people studying Thomas and to people trying to work through the implications of Kristeva's more recent work for literary study." - Joshua Wilner, City College, CUNY "I particularly like the way in which Wardi reads Kristeva in relation to other important psychoanalytic figures, such as Klein, Freud, Winnicott, and Lacan.
