Peter Brooks’s essay is on the Great War and its effect on Freud and Proust, in particular on their interpretations of sadism. Brooks argues that after the First World War, both Freud and Proust came to view sadism as independent of pleasure. Brooks contends that sadism is a crucial notion, one that forced writers in the post-World War I era to grapple with the destructive potential of humanity.
