Annotation
Psychoanalytic study contending that Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, featuring individual panels depicting Eden, worldly pleasures, and hell, is essential to understanding the psychology of sexuality found in The Garden of Eden. Eby sees the painting as illustrative of both the manuscript’s narrative structure and the author’s divided self, reflected in his characters’ preoccupation with sinning and gender transgression. Discusses Hemingway’s fetishism, concluding that the author, like his characters, derived erotic excitement from crossing boundaries.
