Here, we agree, except that I wouldn't write "put in." If the
unconscious exists and can express itself, surely it makes little sense
to say that the writer is putting those views in? The whole point of
Freud's notion was that these things *creep* in unnoticed, no?
This--which you may already have read-- gives further insight into his
Waugh's homosexuality, which, like much else in the world, he seems to
have hated.
