This book is the first to apply systemati cally Jungian psychology to the study of literature throughout the ages. The ten essays are purposefully different, illus trating the universality of Jungian arche typal analysis and criticism. The book has been divided into seven sections: the first five follow chronologi cal order from Euripides to Goethe and finally Yeats; the sixth and seventh are presented separately because they ex plore unique psychological experiences. Each essay is divided into two parts: an ectypal and an archetypal analysis of the works discussed. The ectypal section presents a brief historical summary of the period, acquainting readers with ap propriate facts concerning the author's environment. The archetypal analysis, however, is the most important aspect of A Jungian Approach to Literature. Archetypes, contained in the collec tive unconscious, exist at the deepest level within the subliminal realm. They are "made manifest in archetypal (pri mordial) images: experienced in such universal motifs as the Great Mother, the Spiritual Father, Transformation, the Self, and others." The Jungian archetypal approach to literature acts as a broaden ing force in the life experience.
