INDEX 431 PREFACE One fifth only of this book has previously been
published in English. It has all been revised and the greater part
largely re-written. The light which psycho-analysis is capable of
throwing on the deeper problems of human thought and conduct is
only beginning to be appreciated. The field over which it can be
applied is almost indefinitely large. The parts touched on in the
present volume constitute ofcourse only a selection, yet they are
sufficiently diverse political psychology, artistic and literary
creation, national and indiv idual characterology, and the study of
superstition, history, religion, and folk-lore. E. J. December
1922. ESSAYS IN APPLIED PSYCHO-ANALYSIS CHAPTER I A PSYCHO-ANALYTIC
STUDY OF HAMLET 1 I PSYCHOLOGISTS have as yet devoted relatively
little attention to individual analytic study of genius and of
artistic creativeness, and have mainly confined themselves to
observations of a general order. They seem to share the shyness or
even aversion displayed by the world at large against too searching
an analysis of a thing of beauty, the feeling expressed in Keats
lines on the pris matic study of the rainbow. The fear that beauty
may vanish under too scrutinizing a gaze, and with it our pleasure,
is, however, only in part justified much depends on the nature of
the pleasure and on the attitude of the analyst. Experience has
shewn that intellectual appreciation in particular is only
heightened by understanding, and to further this is one of the
recognised social functions of the critic. Since, moreover,
intellectual appreciation com prises an important part of the
higher forms of aesthetic 1 This chapter is founded on an essay
which appeared in the American Journal of Psychology, January 1910,
an enlarged version of which was published in German as Heft 10 of
the Schriften zur angewandten Seelenkunde under the name Das
Problem des Hamlet und der Oedipus-Komplex, 1911. 1 2 ESSAYS IN
APPLIED PSYCHO-ANALYSIS appreciation, a deepened understanding can
but increase this also. It has been found that with poetic
creations this critical procedure cannot halt at the work of
artitself to isolate this from its creator is to impose artificial
limits to our understanding of it. As Masson, 1 in defending his
biographical analysis of Shakespeare, justly says not till every
poem has been, as it were, chased up to the moment of its organic
origin, and resolved into the mood or intention, or constitutional
reverie, out of which it sprang, will its import be adequately felt
or understood...
