Abstract
The article deals with examples of writers eminent in literary work where the nervous instability appears to have been an important factor in creating the drive of the subjects. The thwarting of certain strong desires often results in a redirection of energy and sometimes in conspicuous attainment. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
