Abstract

This work is a study of Jane Bowles's madness as revealed through several of her literary works and her life story. On a parallel plane, it is an epistemological exploration of the points of intersection between humanistic psychoanalysis and deconstructive literary criticism. Here we consider the schizoid traits in "Two Serious Ladies" (1943) and in "Camp Cataract" (1949), using the theories developed in this area by the psychiatrist R.D. Laing (1927-1989).
