$203.00
USDWritten in Lawrence's most productive period, the two essays Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious (1921) and Fantasia of the Unconscious (1922) propose an alternative to what Lawrence perceived as the Freudian psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious and the incest motive. In doing so they also develop his ideas about the upbringing and education of children, about marriage, and about social and even political action. These writings form an illuminating guide to his philosophy in general, and the thinking behind his other published works.
- An essential text for understanding D. H. Lawrence's thinking as a novelist
- Gives D. H. Lawrence's views on Freud's psychoanalytic theories of the unconscious and the incest motive, as well as on wider general subjects
- An important addition to The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D. H. Lawrence, which offers 'texts which are authoritative enough to stand for another fifty years' - Literary Review
