Gradiva - A Pompeiian Fancy - Wilhelm Jensen

This antiquarian volume comprises Wilhelm Jensen's 1902 novel, Grandiva. First published in the "Neue Freie Presse", this text was inspired by an eponymous Roman bas-relief and would become the foundation for Sigmund Freud's seminal 1907 work 'Delusion and Dream'. Freud's copy of this book can be found on the wall of his study in the Freud Museum at 20 Maresfield Gardens, London. A seminal book in the development of psychoanalysis, this text is a must-have for those with a keen interest in Freudian psychology, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Wilhelm Hermann Jensen (1837 - 1911) was a German writer and poet. We are republishing this vintage work now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a new prefatory biography of the author.
