"This excellent, well-organized collection widens our understanding of the diverse representation of the psyche by modernists, as well as premodernists, in various intellectual and cultural domains. The development of the modern disciplines of psychology, including psychiatry and psychoanalysis, in conjunction with modernism provides fertile ground for establishing new connections that enrich our understanding of both the disciplines and modernism." --Elazar Barkan, Claremont Graduate School
