    Both Dostoevsky and Shakespeare are natural psychologists, who can penetrate deep into people's souls. Seen in that light, Freund's achievement was that he could teach others to do what they could do naturally. This group of natural psychologists, though exclusive , is not limited to just these two. Many authors can capture the zeitgeist and thoughts better than any straightforward history books.

      Definitely. James Joyce comes to mind, as do Jane Austen and Leo Tolstoy. In sci-fi, certainly Fred Pohl is one of those, as well, I think.
