(2000) Gothic radicalism, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
Throughout, we have explored how the Gothic provides a critique of both the sublime and the Freudian notion of the unconscious. So far our argument has largely been centred on an analysis of the sublime, but I will now explore how the Gothic critically reconstructs the Freudian subject. First, however, we need to spend some time looking at the profound debt which Freud owes to Kant. My reading of Freud is one which reveals the continuing presence of the sublime within the heart of his putative scientific practice.
