A Stubborn Ghost
"A tribute to Henry W. Sullivan in celebration of his 80th birthday, this volume encompasses a wide spectrum of Hispanic literary scholarship to honor a prolific scholar whose contributions have been extensive, not only as a Golden Age Hispanist but also as a devoted Lacanian scholar, literary critic, translator, poet, novelist, playwright, and composer.

The Beatles with Lacan
A real breakthrough in terms of applying a theoretical protocol to biographical material has come with Henry W.

Sullivan provides an excellent analysis of the Beatles’ career – perhaps, along with Ian MacDonald’s Revolution in the Head (Fourth Estate, 1994), the best so far available. But in using the work of Lacan, Sullivan offers a psychoanalytic framework to discuss personality and creativity. He also provides a provocative analysis of the roots of rock’n’roll, arguing that the paternal guard of the time, born in the first two decades of the twentieth century, were traumatize...
The Prince in the Tower
Calderon de la Barca's La vida es sueno (1636) has proven to be more popular than any of Shakespeare's plays in a number of European countries during the last three centuries. This book is an attempt to capture the openness in contemporary scholarly discourse.
