In 1938, when Freud was forced by the Nazis to flee Vienna, he brought with him to London a large portion of his annotated library. "Reading Freud's Reading" is a guided tour of this library, the intelletual tools of the genius of Freud.  Specialists from a wide range of areas -- from the history of medicine,  to literary scholarship, to the history of classical scholarship -- spent two months working on questions raised by Freud's reading and hi s library at the Freud Museum in London. Such internationally renowned scholars as Harold P. Blum, Ned Lukacher, Phillip McCaffrey, Robin N. Mitchell-Boyask, Michael Molnar, Ursula Reidel-Schrewe, Ritchie Robertson, and Peter L. Rudnytsky gather here to apply a wide range of critical approaches, from depth psycho analysis to cultural analysis. Together, they present a detailed look at the implications of how and what Freud read, including the major sources he used for his work."
