In Jungian Literary Criticism: the essential guide, Susan Rowland
demonstrates how ideas such as archetypes, the anima and animus,
the unconscious and synchronicity can be applied to the analysis of
literature. Jung's emphasis on creativity was central to his own
work, and here Rowland illustrates how his concepts can be applied
to novels, poetry, myth and epic, allowing a reader to see their
personal, psychological and historical contribution. This
multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach challenges the
notion that Jungian ideas cannot be applied to literary studies,
exploring Jungian themes in canonical texts by authors including
Shakespeare, Jane Austen and W. B. Yeats as well as works by
twenty-first century writers, such as in digital literary art.
Rowland argues that Jung's works encapsulate realities beyond
narrow definitions of what a single academic discipline ought to
do, and through using case studies alongside Jung's work she
demonstrates how both disciplines find a home in one another.
Interweaving Jungian analysis with literature, Jungian Literary
Criticism explores concepts from the shadow to contemporary issues
of ecocriticism and climate change in relation to literary works,
and emphasises the importance of a reciprocal relationship. Each
chapter concludes with key definitions, themes and further reading,
and the book encourages the reader to examine how worldviews change
when disciplines combine. The accessible approach of Jungian
Literary Criticism: the essential guide will appeal to academics
and students of literary studies, Jungian and post-Jungian studies,
literary theory, environmental humanities and ecocentrism. It will
also be of interest to Jungian analysts and therapists in training
and in practice.
