By digging into symbolic, mythological and evolutionary fertility in texts such as \u003cem\u003eThe Secret Garden, The Tempest, Wuthering Heights\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe\u003c\/em\u003e, the book argues that literature is where the imagination, estranged from nature in modernity, is rooted in the non-human other. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Ecocritical Psyche\u003c\/em\u003e is unique in its interdisciplinary expansion of literature, psyche, science and myth. It develops Jungian aesthetics to show how Jung's symbols correlate with natural signifying, providing analytical psychology with a natural home in ecocritical literary theory. The book is therefore essential reading for seasoned analysts and those in training as well as academics involved in literary studies and Jungian psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSusan Rowland\u003c\/strong\u003e was Professor of English and Jungian Studies at the University of Greenwich, London, and now is Core Faculty at Pacifica Graduate Institute, California, USA.
