This text explores the relationship between feminist theory and Jungian studies. It combines an introduction to Jung, his life and work, his treatment of gender and the range of post-Jungian gender theory, with contemporary research linking Jung to deconstruction, post-Freudian feminism, postmodernism, the sublime and the postmodern body. Feminism has neglected Jung to its own detriment. While evaluating the reasons for this neglect, this text uses the diversity of feminist critical tools from historical analysis to poststructuralism.

C.G. Jung and Literary Theory remedies a significant omission in literary studies by doing for Jung and poststructuralist literary theories what has been achieved for Freud and Lacan. Offering radically new Jungian theories of deconstruction, feminism, the body, sexuality, spirituality, postcolonialism, reader-response, the book also investigates the controversial occult and fascist heritage of Jung. By using the work of Derrida, Kristeva and Irigaray and examining Jungian fiction, this book transforms modern literary theory in ways which simultaneously critique Jung's work.

By digging into symbolic, mythological and evolutionary fertility in texts such as The Secret Garden, The Tempest, Wuthering Heights...
