Biography

Paul Bishop is Professor of German at the University of Glasgow. His previous publications include Analytical Psychology and German Classical Aesthetics: Goethe, Schiller, and Jung, volume 1, The Development of the Personality (Routledge, 2008), Jung’s 'Answer to Job': A Commentary (Routledge, 2002) and the edited collection Jung in Contexts: A Reader (Routledge, 1999).

It is written in tightly-argued but always accessible jargon-free prose and it is published simultaneously in hardback and a handsomely-designed paper cover. It can be strongly recommended not only to all Jungian analysts and scholars working within Jungian Studies, but to everyone interested in the history of ideas." - Terence Dawson, International Journal of Jungian Studies, Vol. 1, No. 2, September 2009
