Summary:

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.
