This is the first full-length psychoanalytic study of Shelley’s poetry, approaching it from the viewpoint of contemporary Jungian analytical psychology that incorporates the theories of Melanie Klein and D.W.Winnicott. The author uses materials that relate to the earliest stages of the ego’s development, going back beyond the Oedipal to pre-Oedipal situation. The book is designed to be of interest to lovers of Shelley as well as feminist readers who want to know how pre-Oedipal images of the mother can profoundly affect literature. Christine Gallant is editor of Coleridge’s Theory of Imagination Today (AMS Press 1988) and Blake and the Assimilation of Chaos (Princeton UP, 1978).
