Fantasia of the Unconscious

About The Book: "Fantasia of the Unconscious," penned in the early 1920s during D. H. Lawrence's productive phase, initially responded to psychoanalytic critiques of his novel Sons and Lovers. Over time, these essays transformed into a counterproposal challenging Freudian psychoanalytic theory, delving into themes of the unconscious and the incest motive. Exploring Lawrence's views on education, marriage, and social action, the essays reflect on the struggle to harmonize emotional and intellectual aspects. They represent a daring amalgamation of literary theory, criticism of Freudian psychology, and Lawrence's overarching life philosophy. Lawrence emphasizes the untapped realm of subjective science based on living experiences and intuition, distinct from the objectivity of modern knowledge.
