Territories of the Psyche: The Fiction of Jean Rhys

Simpson (English, California State U., Pomona), who also holds certification in advanced psychodynamic psychotherapy (at the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute) plumbs the emotional depths Jean Rhys endowed her characters in close analysis of Voyage in the dark, After leaving Mr Mackenzie, Quartet, Good morning, midnight; and Wide Sargasso Sea. Simpson's focus on the emotions displayed in the stories reveals new facets and meanings to the characters' actions, feelings, motivations, and interactions with one another.
