Summary
This book traces the psychology, history and theory of the compulsion to collect, focusing not just on the normative collections of the western canon, but also on collections that reflect a fascination with the "other" and the marginal the ephemeral, exotic, or just plain curious. There are essays on the Neoclassical architect Sir John Soane, Sigmund Freud and Kurt Schwitters, one of the masters of collage.
