The Elusive Self: Archetypal Approaches to the Novels of Miguel De Unamuno
(The work of Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo, one of the most imp...)
The work of Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo, one of the most important writers of 20th-century Spain, has recently enjoyed a resurgence of interest within the English-speaking world. In contrast to previous studies of Unamuno's extensive literary corpus, which consider his work primarily from the philosophical points of view, Jurkevich challenges the hagiology which has traditionally dominated Unamuno scholarship with extensive psychoanalytic examination of the writer's life and work. She explores Unamuno's novels, as well as his major work in other genres, in the context of Jungian analytical psychology, demonstrating the extraordinarily consistent psychological portraits his fictional characters provide at the same time that they represent a therapeutic examination by the author of his own psychological conflicts. Jurkevich also goes beyond Jung as she relates details in the lives of novelistic characters to major positions taken by contemporary schools of psychology. The resulting portrait of Unamuno, the man, is as intriguing as is the light shed on the psychological aspects of the creative process. This work should be of interest to students of comparative literature, religion and philosophy as well as scholars working in the areas of European modernism and poststructural literary theory.
