This study explores Carl Jung’s interpretation of Aurlia, a memoir of madness, visions, and dreams written by French Romantic poet Grard de Nerval. The book begins with a substantial
introduction on Jung’s ideas, by author Craig Stephenson, himself a Jungian analyst. Next comes a translation of Aurlia, complete with the book’s original b&w illustrations by Alfred Kubin.
The book also provides Jung’s notes for a 1942 lecture called “On Psychological and Visionary Art,” in which Jung used Aurlia as an example of the stages of the creative process. The text of
the lecture and the minutes of the discussion following the lecture are also included. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
