January 30th, 2019 THE K PAOLETTER The first Modernism course I took in college was really a class on Freud. We read case studies, lectures, and Civilization and Its Discontents before we picked up any Joyce or Faulkner. The well-worn argument the professor was making with such a syllabus was that the exploding popularity of psychoanalysis in the 1890s was a necessary precondition for the precedence interiority took in the literature of the next century. Freud created a pattern for how minds functioned; Modernism was a way of filling in the lines.
