Steiner sees most of the provocative new ideas in Britain as coming from the Continent. "The intellectual traffic over here is tremendous, particularly French Marxism and French structuralism. Psychoanalysis, which has ground to a halt everywhere else, is being given a transfusion of radical sociology in France in psychopolitics: Freudian categories are being applied to the problems of labor, industry and the middle class. Bored with pragmatism and objectivity, the young of Europe are generally moving into an age of myth and irrationality...
This is the physical setting of a venturesome and exciting revival of Endgame by Director André Gregory and the Manhattan Project. The same group two seasons ago made a vertiginous descent into the Freudian maelstrom of Alice in Wonderland, soon due to run again in repertory with Endgame...
SEYMOUR FISHER'S The Female Orgasm is much more fertile ground for enlightened thinking about female sexuality. It is the first significant post-Freudian study of the psychology of sexual response--of the extent to which sexuality may both reflect and influence the individual woman's personality.

...come to think of as political channels, Who knows if the bourgeois radicals who surround him have considered the imperatives of their past; if they haven't, their revolt will prove short-lived, Daniel has shaped a new kind of historical inquiry-an honest kind. He uses both Freudian psychology and Marxian sociology, but they don't contradict each other; because he understands his parents strength and failures on both levels, he doesn't resort to violence to prove his commitment, and he's not convinced that the heritage of industrial uprisings must be followed in order to best attack...
