Fantasia of the Unconscious

D. H. Lawrence wrote Fantasia of the Unconsciousin the early 1920s, during his most productive period. Initially intended as a response to psychoanalytic criticism of his novelSons and Lovers,these works progressed into a counterproposal to the Freudian psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious and the incest motive. They also voice Lawrence's concepts of education, marriage, and social and political action. “Extraordinary. Certainly a landmark in the history of psychoanalysis." - Kenneth Rexroth
