The author begins with \u003ci\u003eThe Purloined Letter\u003c\/i\u003e by Edgar Allan Poe, assessing the differences between Derrida's and Lacan's analysis of this famous story. The book then considers \u003ci\u003eThe Turn of the Screw\u003c\/i\u003e by Henry James, using James' text for an in-depth analysis of Lacan's Seminar on the \u003ci\u003eLogic of the Fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e by Emily Brontë, considering \"passage à l'acte\", and the \u003cem\u003eobjet a\u003c\/em\u003e as the Wind and Heart of the Signifier.
