Abstract
Susan Rowland's C. G.Jung in the Humanities (2010) retraces many of Jung's major preoccupations as a writer and thinker in light of their impact and influence on the humanities, specifically on literature, art, film, alchemy, politics, and gender, as well as the potential for further study in the twenty-first century. Her work centers on Jung's grasp of myth as a generative instinct in the soul and its utterances in poetry, art, and religion as they mirror the cultural psyche. Studies of specific works of literature such as Shakespeare's Hamlet and Sophocles' Oedipus Rex illuminate the way art is mimetic of the soul's yearnings and can reflect the two imposing creation myths of Father Sky and Mother Earth that Jung wished to bring back into alignment and conversation.
