The essays explore myth in all its dimensions: its history; its influence on art, literature, and culture; and its role in everyday life. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis second volume of Campbell's essays (following \u003ci\u003eThe Flight of the Wild Gander\u003c\/i\u003e) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph Campbell\u003c\/b\u003e is widely credited with bringing mythology to a mass audience.
