Three Perspectives on Jung, Wells, and Schreber
A single sentence in C. G. Jung’s “Commentary on The Secret of the Golden Flower” links H. G. Wells’s Christina Alberta’s Father and Daniel Paul Schreber’s Memoirs of My Nervous Illness as illustrations of the principle that repression leads to insanity. The essay demonstrates the following points: Jung inspired the creation of Wells’s novel; comments on Schreber illuminate the course of the Freud-Jung friendship; the books illustrate Jung’s theo…
“We Are All Haunted Houses”
Details regarding Edwin Frere, the Victorian pastor in Lindsay Clarke’s The Chymical Wedding, yield new meaning in light of C. G. Although Frere’s union with Louisa Agnew has been considered a proper coniunctio, his relationship with her and his subsequent self-castration require a darker interpretation than some critics—and the narrator—propose. Other significant events under examination include Frere’s disastrous experience in India, his reacti…
Marie Hay’s The Evil Vineyard and Jung’s Memories, Dreams, Reflections
Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1. For example, when Pierre Benoît, author of L'Atlantide, or Atlantida in the English translation, was accused of plagiarizing Henry Rider Haggard's She, Jung acknowledged the following alternatives: the visionary mode – the same archetypal forces influenced both authors; or cryptomnesia – the Frenchman read and absorbed Haggard's tale of immortal love for an i…
The Castaway Archetype in Two Tales of an Island Year
The castaway archetype is examined in Lucy Irvine’s Castaway and Gerald Kingsland’s The Islander—dual accounts of a year spent on Tuin Island in the Torres Strait north of Australia. The castaway archetype adds a survivalist theme to C. G. Jung’s interest in living simply and close to nature—as he did at Bollingen—and intersects with his ideas in the essay “Archaic Man.” In general, castaways’ exposure to extreme isolation, survival conditions, a…
Jung’s Letter to Major Donald E. Keyhoe
In 1958, C. G. Jung clarified his views on UFOs in a letter to prominent investigator Donald E. Keyhoe. The present essay analyzes the letter and the two men’s main writings on UFOs in the context of Keyhoe’s life, 1950s ufology, and historical revelations since his death in 1988. Like Donald H. Menzel’s meteorological explanation, the conservative opinions of Edward J. Ruppelt in Project Blue Book, and the unfair distortions by Edward Condon in …
Work of Redemption
The Red Book by C. G. Jung remains an unexplored analogy for William Shakespeare’s King Lear. Jungian critics of the play have mainly emphasized Lear’s extraverted rationality versus his need to foster introversion and love. Jung’s visionary experiences suggest an additional pattern: a departure from an initial state of psychological dysfunction, an encounter with unconscious forces, and a return that reflects inner progress. Within this triparti…
Time Is Not an Arrow
For C. G. Jung, H. Rider Haggard’s Ayesha represents not only the anima but also the anima’s historical aspect. This association is ironclad. He states that “Rider Haggard ... give[s] unmistakable ut
