This book blazes a trail in Freud research. Ilse Grubrich-Simitis,
a prominent authority on Freud, examines and deciphers Freud's
original manuscripts - which had remained disregarded for decades.
From these she analyzes Freud's method of working and points out
what the writings reveal of his psychological states, the events in
his life, and the development of his thinking over time. The book
is at once a study of Freud's creativity as a scientist and writer,
an important reference on the texts themselves, and a commentary on
previously unexplored aspects of Freud's life and work. Examining
many hitherto unknown texts, Grubrich-Simitis provides a fresh and
authentic picture of the discoverer of the unconscious at work:
observing, listening to his patients, gathering the raw material
for his oeuvre, fantasizing, drawing conclusions, drafting,
rewriting, and correcting. She refutes the legend of the facility
of Freud's production, for the notes, drafts, fair copies, and
variants she identifies bear witness to the fact that almost every
work actually came into being by a process of consuming hard labor.
Grubrich-Simitis's analysis of Freud's manuscripts is flanked by
two shorter sections on Freud's printed texts: in one she recounts
the history of the editions from the beginnings in Vienna to the
present day, and in the other she offers a detailed plan for a new
historical-critical edition of his works.
