Biography
Matthew A. Fike, PhD, Professor of English at Winthrop University, teaches courses in the human experience, critical thinking, Shakespeare, and Renaissance literature. His previous studies include The One Mind: C. G. Jung and the Future of Literary Criticism and Anima and Africa: Jungian Essays on Psyche, Land, and Literature (Routledge).
"This topic has been staring every Jungian in the face since 1990 (and even before to those studying Jung in Zurich). But no one before Matthew A. Fike has even noticed it. And yet, as soon as Jungian scholars see the title of this book they will wonder why! Four Novels provides a level-headed assessment that adds considerably to our understanding of Jung’s strengths and weaknesses as a literary critic. Fascinating and important." —Terence Dawson, co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to Jung
