The Ecocritical Psyche unites literary studies, ecocriticism,
Jungian ideas, mythology and complexity evolution theory for the
first time, developing the aesthetic aspect of psychology and
science as deeply as it explores evolution in Shakespeare and Jane
Austen. In this book, Susan Rowland scrutinizes literature to
understand how we came to treat 'nature' as separate from ourselves
and encourages us to re-think what we call 'human.' By digging into
symbolic, mythological and evolutionary fertility in texts such as
The Secret Garden, The Tempest, Wuthering Heights and The Lion, the
Witch and the Wardrobe, the book argues that literature is where
the imagination, estranged from nature in modernity, is rooted in
the non-human other. The Ecocritical Psyche is unique in its
interdisciplinary expansion of literature, psyche, science and
myth. It develops Jungian aesthetics to show how Jung's symbols
correlate with natural signifying, providing analytical psychology
with a natural home in ecocritical literary theory. The book is
therefore essential reading for seasoned analysts and those in
training as well as academics involved in literary studies and
Jungian psychology.
