Despite Freud's enormous influence on twentieth-century
interpretations of the humanities, there has never before been in
English a complete collection of his writings on art and
literature. These fourteen essays cover the entire range of his
work on these subjects, in chronological order beginning with his
first published analysis of a work of literature, the 1907
"Delusion and Dreams in Jensen's "Gradiva"" and concluding with the
1940 posthumous publication of "Medusa's Head." Many of the essays
included in this collection have been crucial in contemporary
literary and art criticism and theory.
Among the subjects Freud engages are Shakespeare's "Hamlet, The
Merchant of Venice, King Lear, " and "Macbeth, " Goethe's "Dichtung
und Wahrheit, " Michelangelo's "Moses, " E. T. A. Hoffman's "The
Sand Man," Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov, " fairy tales, the
effect of and the meaning of beauty, mythology, and the games of
aestheticization. All texts are drawn from "The Standard Edition of
the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud," edited by James
Strachey. The volume includes the notes prepared for that edition
by the editor.
In addition to the writings on Jensen's "Gradiva" and Medusa, the
essays are: "Psychopathic Characters on the Stage," "The
Antithetical Meaning of Primal Words," "The Occurrence in Dreams of
Material from Fairy Tales," "The Theme of the Three Caskets," "The
"Moses" of Michelangelo," "Some Character Types Met with in
Psycho-analytic Work," "On Transience," "A Mythological Parallel to
a Visual Obsession," "A Childhood Recollection from "Dichtung und
Wahrheit,"" "The Uncanny," "Dostoevsky and Parricide," and "The
Goethe Prize."
