He can then go on to examine writers and their work along orthodox lines laid down by Viennese mind-science nearly a century ago. He is wary enough to disarm those who would argue that literary psychology diminishes its subject. The fact remains that Edel is incapable of being reductive, even when he tries. Stuff of Sleep and Dreams is continuously energetic and expansive. Its variety includes anecdotes, information and even Edel's eyewitness account of James Joyce leading...
