Sigmund Freud corresponded to the middle class. Paul Vitz compares Freudian psychoanalysis to Thomism, noting St. Thomas's belief in the existence of an "unconscious consciousness" and his "frequent use of the word and concept 'libido' – sometimes in a more specific sense than Freud, but always in a manner in agreement with the Freudian use." Vitz suggests that Freud may have been unaware that his theory of the unconscious was reminiscent of Aquinas. The poem "In Memory of Sigmund Freud" was published by British poet W.H. Auden in his 1940 collection "Another Time". Literary critic Harold Bloom has been influenced by Freud.
