Art and Literature

This is an excellent primer for undergraduate English literature students, featuring such useful short essays as 'Psychopathic Characters on the Stage' (1905-6/1942), 'Creative Writers and Day-dreaming' (1907/8), 'The Uncanny' (1919), and 'Humour' (1927), as well as longer pieces like his psychological portrait of Leonardo da Vinci (1910). This book may begin a lifelong fascination with Freud, who was undoubtedly one of the great essayists of the twentieth century.
