Mythic Worlds Modern Words

Synopsis

"Mythic Worlds, Modern Words provides a wide representation of Campbell's works on Joyce, including published writing, lectures, and exchanges with his audiences, from his obituary notice on Joyce in 1941 all the way to lectures delivered a few years before Campbell's death in 1987. Joyce scholar Edmund L. Epstein has arranged this material as running commentary on A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake." "Mythic Worlds, Modern Words is an introduction to Joyce's major works, a portrait of Joseph Campbell as a scholar of Joyce, and a major contribution to Joyce criticism - the fruit of a lifetime's meditation on the great Irish writer's fiction."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
