Résumé anglais |
In his last short story, «Martha Gardner ; or Moral Reaction,» William Austin (1778-1841) produced an insightful interpretation of his heroines dream which retrospectively seems to anticipate the psychoanalytical theory of the formation of oneiric fantasies. A Freudian analysis confirms that the Bostonian writer cleverly succeeded in mixing in his tale the requirements of basic Unitarian propaganda - much in fashion in early nineteenth Boston - with a subtle psychologically-oriented plot.
