In 1945, at the end of the Second World War and after a long illness, C. G. Jung delivered a lecture in Z眉rich on the French Romantic poet G茅rard de Nerval. The lecture focused on Nerval’s visionary memoir, 础耻谤茅濒颈补, which the poet wrote in an ambivalent attempt to emerge from madness. Published here for the first time, Jung鈥檚 lecture is both a cautionary psychological tale and a validation of Nerval鈥檚 visionary experience as a genuine encounter.

Nerval explored the irrational with lucidity and exquisite craft. He privileged the subjective imagination as a way of fathoming the divine to reconnect with what the Romantics called the life principle. During the years of his greatest creativity, he suffered from madness and was institutionalized eight times. Contrasting an orthodox psychoanalytic interpretation with his own synthetic approach to the unconscious, Jung explains why Nerval was unable to make use of his visionary experiences in his own life. At the same time, Jung emphasizes the validity of Nerval鈥檚 visions, differentiating the psychology of a work of art from the psychology of the artist. The lecture suggests how Jung鈥檚 own experiments with active imagination influenced his reading of Nerval鈥檚 础耻谤茅濒颈补 as a parallel text to his own Red Book.

With Craig Stephenson鈥檚 authoritative introduction, Richard Sieburth鈥檚 award-winning translation of 础耻谤茅濒颈补, and Alfred Kubin鈥檚 haunting illustrations to the text, and featuring Jung鈥檚 reading marginalia, preliminary notes, and revisions to a 1942 lecture, On Psychological and Visionary Art documents the stages of Jung鈥檚 creative process as he responds to an essential Romantic text.
