Review Quotes:
Praise for Joseph Campbell
"No one in our century--not Freud, not Thomas Mann, not Lévi-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 "There is no one quite like Joseph Campbell. He knows the vast sweep of man's panoramic past as few men have ever known it."
--The Village Voice "In our generation the mythographer who has had the fullest command of the huge scholarly literature, the analytical ability, the lucid prose, and the needed staying power has been Joseph Campbell."
