"Going beyond the conventional paralleling of Campbell with Jung, Ritske Rensma argues that Campbell's view of Jung went through three stages. At first, Campbell granted Jung and Freud equal importance in the understanding of myth. Next, Campbell rejected Jung's view on, especially, the origin of myth in favor of the ethological view espoused by Konrad Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen. Finally, Campbell came to see the overlap between Jung and the ethologists. An original, scholarly approach to Campbell, one that rests substantially on the scrutiny of unpublished material. Strongly recommended." - Robert A. Segal, Sixth Century Chair in Religious Studies, University of Aberdeen, UK This is the ideal book for readers familiar with the work of both Jung and Campbell. It will also be of interest for those wanting to know more about the study of myth and how it has changed throughout history. I commend this book to each and every reader comprising both groups.
