"""Unusual insights . . . with a great deal of new information. [Campbell's] writing reveals deep knowledge of dance and aesthetics, and clarity of thought. There are also excellent notes related to both Parts I and II at the end of the book, and these add to the reader's understanding of the various issues and artists under discussion. Readers will find a great deal to think about in this small collection of Campbell's work, and the book will also serve as an introduction to the thoughts of an important American writer -- one who influenced many with his teaching, ideas, and books."" -- Journal of Dance Education Praise for Joseph Campbell ""No one in our century -- not Freud, not Thomas Mann, not L�vi-Strauss -- has so brought the mythical sense of the world and its eternal figures back into our everyday consciousness."" -- James Hillman ""Campbell has become the rarest of intellectuals in American life: a serious thinker who has been embraced by the popular culture."" -- Newsweek"
