William Wordsworth, narcissique ? Oui, mais d’un narcissisme concret, refoulé, angoissé, et inspiré. Le mythe de Narcisse, mais aussi d’Écho, résonne dans les vers à un niveau littéral : personnages de doubles, scènes d’auto-contemplation, échos des montagnes foisonnent, convoquant la présence sous-jacente d’un mythe aussitôt refoulé. À un niveau plus symbolique, Écho et Narcisse structurent aussi le rapport de Wordsworth à son œuvre : célèbre pour sa Glorieuse Décennie créatrice, il est le poète de la perte de l’inspiration et de la répétition à l’infini de poèmes sans cesse corrigés, comme on réajuste un miroir. Enfin, poète de l’angoisse de la réception, Wordsworth ancre dans ses vers de véritables modes d’emploi destinés à ses lecteurs, qui doivent s’en faire les échos et non les juges, et se muer en doubles parfaits.

What is it that makes language powerful? This book uses the psychoanalytic concepts of narcissism and libidinal investment to explain how rhetoric compels us and how it can effect change. The works of Joseph Conrad, James Baldwin, Michael Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Arthur Miller, D.H. Lawrence, Ben Jonson, George Orwell, and others are the basis of this thoughtful exploration of the relationship between language and subject. Bringing together ideas from Freudian, post- Freudian, Lacanian, and post-structuralist schools, Alcorn investigates the power of the text that underlies the reader response approach to literature in a strikingly new way. He shows how the production of literary texts begins and ends with narcissistic self-love, and also shows how the reader's interest in these texts is directed by libidinal investment.Psychoanalysts, psychologists, and lovers of literature will enjoy Alcorn's diverse and far-reaching insights into classic and contemporary writers and thinkers.
