The fisher king and the handless maiden : understanding the wounded feeling function in masculine and feminine psychology - San Francisco HarperSanFrancisco c1993* - 10 + 103p

Amfortas : In the German version of the Fisher King, the young prince is named Amfortas., p19-20.. Parsifal : p37, 38-48.. George, Saint : p50-51.. Symbolism of Orange : p51.. Symbolism of Salmon : p27-28.. Woundedness : p28-33. The German version has an even more violent interpretation of the wounding of the fisher king. In Wolfram von Eschenbach's (12th cent.
