Manet and the Family Romance

"Manet and the Family Romancewill be a thunderbolt thrust into the community of Manet scholars, recasting our comprehension of some of the touchstones of modern painting in terms of the Freudian family romance. Nancy Locke's persuasive psychoanalytic study has also unearthed precious and altogether new information about the artist's family and the social and personal conditions in which he worked. Indeed, a central achievement of this book is its demonstration that social history and psychoanalysis need not be mutually exclusive."--Hollis Clayson, Northwestern UniversityNancy Locke is the author of 'Manet and the Family Romance', published 2003 under ISBN 9780691114842 and ISBN 0691114846.
