(b)English Translation:
A Childhood Recollection from Dichtung und Wahrheit 1925 C.P., 4, 357-67. (Tr. C. J. M. Hubback.)
The present translation is a considerably modified version of that published in 1925.
Freud gave the first part of this paper before the Vienna Psycho-Analytical Society on December 13, 1916 and the second part before the same society on April 18, 1917. The paper was not actually written by him until September, 1917, in the train on his way back from a summer holiday in the Tatra Mountains in Hungary. The date of publication is uncertain, since Imago appeared very irregularly at that time, owing to war conditions. A summary of his conclusions will be found in a long footnote which he added in 1919 to Chapter II of his study of a childhood memory of Leonardo da Vinci's (1910c).
