"Susan Rowland's Jung: A Feminist Revision makes a powerful
contribution to criticism. More than assert Jung's relevance for
postmodern and feminist theories, she succeeds, single-handedly, in
restoring Jung to his rightful place in contemporary thought.
Encyclopaedic in scope yet original in its aims and approach, Jung:
A Feminist Revision will become the seminal, standard work in its
field. Readers new to Jung will find Rowland's outline of his life
and writings highly accessible; Jungian scholars will find her
interpretations as sensible and compelling as they are revisionary;
most important, contemporary feminists will now find in Jung a
surprising new ally and resource for constructing ‘postmodern
feminisms'. Featuring background surveys of current feminist
theories, postmodernism, and deconstruction as well as of Jungian
(and post-Jungian) psychology, this book provides no less than a
primer of recent criticism. Here and in previous studies, Rowland
establishes herself as one of Jung's most sensitive and original
contemporary critics. The distinctions she makes between Jung the
‘grand theorist' and Jung the author of ‘personal myth' will prove
particularly useful to scholars interested in postmodern approaches
to Jungian psychology and criticism. " James S. Baumlin, Southwest
Missouri State University
"This is a truly ground-breaking book. Rowland has done what has
needed to be done by introducing Jung and the post-Jungians to the
academy in a way that will promote dialogue and lead to all manner
of unpredictable outcomes. Jung: A Feminist Revision is a book for
everyone interested in feminism, gender studies, cultural studies,
intellectual history and psychoanalysis, from professors to
undergraduates" Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology,
University of Essex
"Susan Rowland brings Jungian psychology face-to-face with
contemporary feminism and stakes a brilliant claim in the critical
territory that is postmodern Jungian studies." Christopher Hauke,
Goldsmith's College, University of London; Jungian analyst
"...an immensely enjoyable and stimulating book which amply fulfils
its aim of opening up a new dialogue between Jung and feminism."
Angela Connolly, The Journal of Analytical Psychology
