5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful essays finally available, 22 April 1998
By A Customer
It is hard to find the scarce published of Campbell's essays and this book delivers. These selections are full of Campbell's brilliance but leave you wanting more. It is a good thing it is only PART of his collected works! There is more to come!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mythic Dimension, 21 Mar 2008

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Mythic Dimension: Selected Essays 1959 - 1987 (Collected Works of Joseph Campbell) (Hardcover)
If you have any sort of interest in mythology, then you have heard of Joseph Campbell. His works such as The Hero's Journey and Myths of Light are required reading for university studies. His presentation of the cycle of the hero is absolutely legendary. He is one of my absolute favorite authors.

When a copy of The Mythic Dimension arrived at my door for me to review, I was thrilled. This book reprints a variety of Campbell's essays and articles, originally published between 1959 and 1987. Amongst these pieces are solid foundational presentations that provide a really good overview of the study of mythology and the associated symbolism. I can see this book becoming a very popular text for university classes.
