The Chamber of Maiden Thought is a scholarly and original book by Meg Harris Williams and Margot Waddell, two psychoanalysts and literary critics. The book explores the literary origins and influences of the psychoanalytic model of the mind, as developed by Freud and his successors. The book argues that psychoanalysis is not only a science, but also an art, that draws on the creative and imaginative power of literature. The book analyses various literary works, such as Shakespeare's plays, Wordsworth's poems, and Dickens' novels, and shows how they illuminate and enrich the understanding of the human psyche.
