Autorenporträt
GEORGE M. JOHNSON is Associate Professor of English at the Cariboo University College in British Columbia, Canada. He has edited three volumes of the Dictionary of Literary Biography on Modern British Novelists, and in 1998 published the first full-length study of J.D. Beresford. He has recently completed a mystery novel, The Absence of Freud, about a clash between late-Victorian working-class hypnotists and psychical researchers.
Rezensionen
'For scholars of British literary modernism, who focus on theories of the unconsious, selfhood and narrative, Dynamic Psychology is essential reading.' - Michael Lackey, Studies in the Novel

'...this study should receive serious consideration for two reasons: as a reassessment of the role psychical research played in the development of both modern psychology and modern literature and as a call for the renewed appreciation of neglected authors like Bennett, Beresford, and especially Sinclair.' - Andrew Kunka, Modern Fiction Studies
