Narcissism in Romantic Literature

FAIN: FB-12884-76

Stephen J. Spector
University of Bridgeport (Bridgeport, CT 06604-7646)

To investigate romantic narcissism and mirror imagery in selected romantic texts and to develop a perspective that questions the seeming confidence of the romantic "cult of the ego" and the "etalage du moi" by making explicit the audience, often internalized, on which the romantic ego often depends.
