Marie-Louise von Franz

 

Marie-Louise von Franz left numerous unpublished lectures, papers, and major works related to alchemy, mythology, fairy tales, dreams, synchronicity, the study of symbolism, and other subjects.

The Foundation for Jungian Psychology, being the heir of the literary estate of Marie-Louise von Franz, is presently in the process of publishing these works, as well as revising and re-editing her books that have been out of print.

At the moment a major task of the foundation lies in the publication of Marie-Louise von Franz’s three volume work Symbolism of Fairytales in German (re-edition) and English (new translation) under her authorship. She worked nine years long on this monumental manuscript, which has been published 1957 under the name of another author.
