Poetry and Psychiatry

Exploring the intersection of Symbolism and radical political thought in early 20th-century Russia, this collection of essays delves into the aspirations of poets, philosophers, and mystics who envisioned a transformative upheaval amid tsardom's decline. Influenced by figures like Vladimir Solovyov and Friedrich Nietzsche, these thinkers grappled with the realities of the 1905 Revolution and sought intellectual refuge in emerging ideas, including psychoanalysis. It appeals to those intrigued by Russian literature and the development of Eastern European psychoanalysis.
