The Incest Theme in Literature and Legend by Otto Rank

---

Interesting relic of the early 20th century. Applies Freudian psychoanalytic theory onto literature — old and new — as a lens for exploring explicit or implicit incest. Focused primarily on German culture/language (understandably). Arguments focus a lot on personal details/speculation of author's life which weakens what substance is found.
