(Brenda Webster) data view ("Brenda Webster was born in New York City, educated at Swarthmore, Barnard, Columbia, and Berkeley, where she earned her Ph.D. She is a novelist, freelance writer, playwright, critic and translator who splits her time between Berkeley and Rome. Webster has written two controversial and oft-anthologized critical studies, Yeats: A Psychoanalytic Study (Stanford) and Blake's Prophetic Psychology (Macmillan). She has translated poetry from the Italian for The Other Voice (Norton) and The Penguin Book of Women Poets. She is the author of five previous novels, Sins of the Mothers (Baskerville 1993), Paradise Farm (SUNY, 1999), The Beheading Game (Wings Press, 2006), which was a finalist for the Northern California Book Award, Vienna Triangle (Wings Press, 2009) and After Auschwitz: A Love Story (Wings Press, 2014). Her memoir, The Last Good Freudian (2000) received considerable critical praise. The Modern Language Association published Webster's translation of Edith Bruck's Holocaust novel, Lettera alla Madre, in 2007. Webster's novel, Vienna Triangle, "navigates between the late Sixties and fin de siecle Vienna in a dramatic exploration of family romances inside and outside the circle that so famously gathered around the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud" (Sandra Gilbert). Webster is the president of PEN West")
