Narcissism and the Literary Libido: Rhetoric, Text, and Subjectivity New edition
Alcorn, Jr., Marshall W.
What is it that makes language powerful? This book uses the psychoanalytic concepts of narcissism and libidinal investment to explain how rhetoric compels us and how it can effect change. It shows how the production of literary texts begins and ends with narcissistic self-love.
