The Uncanny by Sigmund Freud, David McLintock, et al.: The Uncanny is a seminal work by Sigmund Freud, expertly translated and analyzed by David McLintock and others. In this influential psychological study, Freud explores the concept of the uncanny—the feeling of something strangely familiar yet unsettling. Through case studies, literary analysis, and psychoanalytic theory, Freud delves into the intricacies of the human psyche and the uncanny''s relation to the unconscious, repression, and the uncanny in literature and art. Key Points: The Uncanny in Literature and Art: Freud examines how the feeling of the uncanny is evoked in literature, art, and cultural phenomena. He explores how elements such as doubles, repetition, the return of the repressed, and eerie coincidences contribute to the sense of the uncanny. Freud''s analysis of famous works, including E.T.A. Hoffmann''s The Sandman and Poe''s tales, sheds light on the power of the uncanny in storytelling and its resonance with human psychology. Repression and the Return of the Repressed: The book delves into the relationship between the uncanny and repressed desires, fears, and traumatic experiences. Freud argues that the uncanny often arises when repressed content from the unconscious mind resurfaces, causing discomfort and anxiety. Through in-depth analysis, Freud explores the connection between the uncanny and the human psyche''s intricate mechanisms of repression and expression. Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious: The Uncanny contributes to the field of psychoanalysis by providing insights into the workings of the unconscious mind. Freud delves into the role of the unconscious in shaping human experience and perception of the uncanny. The book explores the influence of early childhood experiences, dreams, and repressed memories in manifesting the uncanny, offering readers a deeper understanding of the human psyche and its complexities.

Simon Rosenbaum B.Sc. (b. 1877) was a British Jewish academic active in the early twentieth century, whose major field of study was statistics. He is perhaps best-known today for an editing a collection of essays entitled Against Home Rule: The Case for Union, which was first published in 1912 at the height of the crisis over Irish Home Rule. Contributors to this work included Arthur J. Balfour, J. Austen Chamberlain, and L. S. Amery.

How these letters came to be written is told by their recipient in his introduction; and to this there would be nothing to add were it not for the close of the eighth letter: Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty and sadness. . . . Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words.” It is evident that a great artist; whatever the immediate conditions disturbing his own life; may be able to clarify for the benefit of another those fundamental truths the conviction of which lies too deep in his consciousness to be reached by external agitations. Though Rilke expresses himself with a wisdom and a kindness that seem to reflect the calm of self-possession; his spirit may have been speaking out of its own need rather than from the security of ends achieved; so that his words indeed reflect desire rather than fulfillment. In what sort this was the case becomes apparent on perusal of the several volumes of his correspondence. From these; for the most part; the accompanying chronicle of the years 1903-1908 has been prepared. It shows what Rilke was going through in his own relationship to life and work at the period in question (he turned twenty-eight in December; 1903). Perhaps such a record may in a measure explain; too; why sympathy was always so responsive an element of his nature. Certainly—despite low physical vitality that often reduced him to actual ill-health; despite lack of funds and homeless wandering in search of the right places and circumstances for his work; despite all the subjective fret and hindrance because of which some think to see in him a morbidly conditioned fantasy—the legend of the weary poet is dispelled; and in the end we find him always young; always constructive; the eminently positive philosopher of these letters.
