| Synopsis: |
This is an innovative work of biography which traces the lasting impact of the friendship between Sigmund Freud and pioneering American psychologist James Jackson Putnam - written by Putnam's great grandson. In 1909 Sigmund Freud made his only visit to America which included a trip to "Putnam Camp" - the eminent American psychologist James Jackson Putnam's family retreat in the Adirondacks. Putnam, a Boston Unitarian, and Freud, a Viennese Jew, came from opposite worlds - and yet they struck up an unusually fruitful collaboration. Putnam's support of Freud helped legitimize the psychoanalytic movement. "Music of the Quills" reveals details of Putnam's and Freud's personal lives that have never been fully explored before, including the crucial role Putnam's muse, Susan Blow - founder of America's first kindergarten - played in the intense debate between these two great thinkers. |
