C. G. Jung and Literary Theory: The Challenge from Fiction

C. G. Jung and Literary Theoryremedies a significant omission in literary studies by doing for Jung and poststructuralist literary theories what has already been achieved for Freud and Lacan. Offering radically new Jungian theories of deconstruction, feminism, the body, sexuality, spirituality, postcolonialism, and reader-response, the book also investigates the controversial occult and fascist heritage of Jung. By using the work of Derrida, Kristeva, and Irigaray and also examining Jungian fiction, this book transforms modern literary theory in ways which simultaneously critique Jung's work.Rowland, Susan is the author of 'C.
