| Synopsis: |
Originally published in 1924, this title is substantially a continuation of Baudouin's earlier work Studies in Psychoanalysis, being an application of psychoanalysis to the theory of aesthetics, as illustrated by a detailed study of the works of the Belgian poet Emile Verhaeren. The `interpretation' Freud has supplied for dreams Baudouin attempts - and archives - for the imagery of the artistic creator. The work is in part based upon private documents supplied to the author by Madame Verhaeren, an autograph letter, and a previously unpublished poem. |
