Bringing together psychoanalysis and literary criticism, this classic work features Wilhelm Jensen’s short novel Gradiva alongside Sigmund Freud’s groundbreaking study of the story. Freud uses Jensen’s narrative—about a young archaeologist obsessed with a woman depicted in an ancient Roman relief—to demonstrate how dreams, subconscious desires, and suppressed memories can be interpreted through literature, making it a foundational text in psychoanalytic art critique.
