Summary
Marie-Louise Franz: The Feminine Principle in Fairy Tales
The book is based on a series of lectures that the author gave in 1958 and 1959 at the Carl Gustav Jung Institute in Zurich. Marie-Louise Franz (1915-1998) is renowned as an undisputed authority in the field of psychological interpretation and analysis of fairy tales. After studying classical philology and a doctorate, she began to translate old Latin texts for Carl Gustav Jung, which would later become the basis of his study of alchemy and his practice of analytical psychology.
Franz is considered the most prolific and representative of Jung's successors, the author of numerous works on dreams, myths, fairy tales and alchemy.
