Breaking new ground in Sarraute studies, John Phillips reads the novels and plays of Nathalie Sarraute in a hitherto largely neglected critical perspective. Through a detailed analysis of textual metaphors, he demonstrates that Sarraute's writing is informed and inspired by an intensely personal set of desires. Unlike previous criticism, which has stressed the formal aspects of the writing to the exclusion of the psychological, this study exploits contemporary psychoanalytic and feminist theory to expose an unconscious feminine dimension which the author herself has never recognized.

The Author: John Phillips is a Senior Lecturer in French at La Sainte Union College of Higher Education, Southampton. Following undergraduate studies at Oxford University, he received his Master's Degree and Ph.D. in Contemporary French Literature from the University of London. Dr. Phillips has published articles on Sarraute, Duras, Weyergans, and Racine.
