C. G. Jung believed that popular fiction often conveyed unvarnished psychological truths. In this volume, Matthew A. Fike skillfully analyzes the novels under consideration in Jungs 1925 seminar on analytical psychology, corrects Jungs ill-informed perspectives, and sheds light on a neglected area of Jungian literary studies.
Jung originally planned to discuss several novels about the animaHenry Rider Haggards She, Pierre Benoîts LAtlantide, and Gustav Meyrinks The Green Face. At the request of his participants, he dropped Meyrink and included a text about the animus, Marie Hays The Evil Vineyard. Fike demonstrates that Haggards She and Benoîts LAtlantide portray anima possession, the visionary and psychological modes, and traditional versus Jungian approaches to history. Meyrinks smorgasbord of Jungian theory and religion makes The Green Face a fictional counterpart to The Red Book, and both Meyrink and Hay depict states of higher consciousness that transcend the archetypes. The distinction between archetypal and spiritual possession demonstrates that The Evil Vineyard is a ghost story, and the study concludes with Hays dozens of allusions, which provide important metacommentary.
Four Novels in Jungs 1925 Seminar
, the first comprehensive study of all four texts, complements seminal works by Cornelia Brunner and Barbara Hannah, critiques the seminar discussion recorded in William McGuires edition of Analytical Psychology: Notes of the Seminar Given in 1925 by C. G. Jung, and incorporates Jungs own comments on the four novels in The Collected Works. Thus, it provides an essential addition to Jungian literary studies and will appeal both to students and practitioners of Jungian analytical psychology and to scholars of British, French, and German literature.
