Novata, California, U.S.A.: New World Library, 2004 Save for one pin-headed sized drop of adhesive from a mishap at the bindery, on the front cover, book would be "as new." Imperceptible wear to jacket--some smudges as would be seen in a bookstore. Very nice copy. "In 1927 Joseph Campbell was given clues to reading James Joyce's labrynthine ULYSSES by its original publisher Sylvia Beach and, as he said, it changed his career. His discoveries became the foundation for his later work in comparative mythology. To analyze ULYSSES and Joyce's other workd, he employed depth psychology, anthropology, religion, and art history as tools. A treasure for Joyce and Campbell fans alike, MYTHIC WORLDS, MODERN WORDS collects 60 years of Campbell's writings, lectures, and other commentary on Joyce, including exchanges with his cudiences and Campbell's 1941 Joyce obituary."--from the publisher. A volume in New World Library's THE COLLECTED WORKS OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL.. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
