Summary: "The Erotic Motive in Literature" by Albert Mordell is a psychoanalytic literary criticism written in the early 20th century. The work seeks to explore the underlying erotic motives present in literature, positing that these motives arise from the author's unconscious. The analysis focuses on how personal experiences, emotions, and memories influence literary expression across various genres. The opening of the volume presents the author's ambition to apply psychoanalytic methods to literary analysis, advocating for a deeper examination of texts to uncover aspects of the author's psyche. Mordell introduces the idea that literature serves as a personal reflection of the author, revealing hidden emotions and traumas that shape their narratives. He draws parallels between dreams and literary works, suggesting that both can illuminate unconscious desires and conflicts that drive human behavior and creativity, laying the foundation for further explorations into the erotic undercurrents that permeate literary masterpieces.
