Sigmund Freud's the Interpretation of Dreams: New Interdisciplinary Essays (Texts in Culture)

Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams, published in 1900, has been one of the most influential texts of the twentieth century, fundamentally changing the ways in which people think about their waking lives as well as their dreams. This book, more than any other in Freud’s massive oeuvre, has shaped a vast amount of work in linguistics and semiotics, literary studies, film theory, psychology, philosophical hermeneutics and the history of ideas. This influence is reflected in the editor’s introduction and the six essays specially commissioned for this volume.
