This groundbreaking new translation of The Interpretation of Dreams is the first to be based on the original text published in November 1899. It restores Freud's original argument, unmodified by revisions he made following the book's critical reception which included, under the influence of his associate Wilhelm Stekel, the theory of dream symbolism. Reading the first edition reveals Freud's original emphasis on the use of words in dreams and on the difficulty of deciphering them and Joyce Crick captures with far greater immediacy and accuracy than previous translations by Strachey's Freud's emphasis and terminology. An accessible introduction by Ritchie Robertson summarizes and comments on Freud's argument and relates it to his early work. Close annotation explains Freud's many autobiographical, literary and historical allusions and makes this the first edition to present Freud's early work in its full intellectual and cultural context. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Product description

Review

is fascinating and endlessly entertaining ― John Banville 23/11/2000

Joyce Crick's clear, clean and pure re-translation ― john Banville The Irish Times 18/11/2000

'The link between psychoanalysis and the arts is endlessly fascinating, and there is no better place to start exploring it than Joyce Crick's fresh translation. Crick returns to Freud's original edition - before he added the edifice of sexual symbols (towers and staircases) which have been fodder for a century of shrink-bashers - and sweeps away the archaic technical terms used in James Strachey's standard version. She returns Freud to the lay reader as, above all, a brilliant writer: profound, accessible, elegant, his case histories as compelling as fiction, the conviction of his vision a pleasure and a provocation.' ― Financial Times

5.0 out of 5 stars Scholarly work for classroom study
Reviewed in the United States on 21 March 2024

I was actually looking for a work on dreams that spent more time interpretating dreams of archetypes.
Carl Jung does it better, but Freud is one with whom a serious student cannot go wrong. This book is well-worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Start Here for the Study of Postmodernism
Reviewed in Canada on 13 December 2015

Freud is no longer a scientist that he labels himself as, yet we read his works as those belonging to a library of classics. Why? While the research that Freud presented in this book don't follow vigorous scientific assessment, the ideas therein are still widespread in the post-modern school of literature and thought. The human subconscious is dissected: by reading The Interpretation of Dreams, we get an vague idea of the functions and possibilities of one's sleeping life, when repressed and forgotten thoughts emerge.
