It is a form of literary criticism which uses some of the techniques of psychoanalysis in the interpretation of literature.
Sigmund Freud's ideas:
All of freud's work depends upon the notion of the unconscious, he was not the discover of the unconscious, his uniqueness lies in his attributing to it such a decisive role in our lives.
"For Freud, the unresolved conflicts that give rise to any neurosis are the stuff of literature. A work of literature, he believes, is the external expression of the author’s unconscious mind. Accordingly, the literary work must be treated like a dream"
