A triptych: Freud's The interpretation of dreams, Rider Haggard's She, and Bulwer-Lytton's The coming race (1993)
Description “At least two of our figures, Haggard and Bulwer-Lytton, were directly associated with Africa. The other, Freud, envisioned it only as a continent of the mind. Yet it can be said that all three were drawing on what was basically a common Eurpoean culture and using it for a basically common purpose of dealing with the problem of civilization and culture and the irruption of the irrational into both. In the end, however, as I shall argue, these three men emerged from their African explorations with very different maps of reality.”
