About this audiobook
This work presents twelve eclectic, far-ranging, and brilliant essays gathered together for the first time. The essays explore myth in all its dimensions: its history; its influence on art, literature, and culture; and its role in everyday life.
This second volume of Campbell's essays (following The Flight of the Wild Gander) brings together his uncollected writings from 1959 to 1987. Written at the height of Campbell's career—and showcasing the lively intelligence that made him the twentieth century's premier writer on mythology—these essays investigate the profound links between myth, the individual, and societies ancient and contemporary. Covering diverse terrain ranging from psychology to the occult, from Thomas Mann to the Grateful Dead, from Goddess spirituality to Freud and Jung, these playful and erudite writings reveal the threads of myth woven deeply into the fabric of our culture and our lives.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5As with all of Campbell's work, this material was massaged and critiqued by students and peers alike. All his polished material went through this process, usually beginning as a syllabus in one of his courses at Sarah Lawrence. this collection of lectures were sufficiently raw and difficult to classify into his other ideas to warrant independent publication, most probably only of interest to us devotees.
