Reviews
"Both Nerval's Aurelia and Jung's commentary on it are of great interest not only to analytical psychology and literary studies but more widely to anyone interested in the central mythical pattern of modern times, the creative descent journey. The organization of this edition in the form of a creative descent from editor's introduction to commentaries to Aurelia itself makes it wonderfully useful to a reader wishing to fathom Nerval's enigmatic text."-Michael Dolzani, coeditor of the Unpublished Notebooks of Northrop Frye
"On Psychological and Visionary Art brings to publication a significant lecture by Jung, and provides readers with the context to understand Jung's argument and its importance. The lecture is rich in cultural reference and allusion. Jung himself described the memoir under discussion as being of extraordinary magnitude, and the interpretation he offers at this late stage in his intellectual development represents his mature system at work."-Paul Bishop, author of Analytical Psychology and German Classical Aesthetics
"Scholars of Jung's thought will be grateful to have Jung's lecture available, to see the fascinating parallels between Nerval's experiences and those Jung documents in The Red Book, and to study the distinctions between psychological and visionary modes as well as Jung's further reflections on art. This book is a valuable contribution to Jungian studies."-Beth Darlington, Vassar College
