- The writing of Lacan’s Return to Antiquity spanned a four-year period, and was fully funded by the AHRC. The monograph comprises the first full-length study of Lacan’s engagement with classicism, drawing on a wealth of published and unpublished material from across forty years of his teaching. The study bridges psychoanalysis, philosophy, history and classics, providing an unprecedentedly detailed intellectual context for Lacan’s work, and analysing the process by which the texts we know emerged via oral delivery, transcription, editing and revision. It examines previously overlooked intellectual relationships between Lacan and his contemporaries, including Pierre Klossowski, Alexandre Koyré and Jean Pierre-Vernant.
