The Chalice and the Blade : Our History, Our Future
Eisler, Riane T
New York: Harper and Row, Publishers, 1987. 261 pages indexed. Red boards with maroon cloth quarter spine and gold lettering. Bright red dust jacke with some shelf scuffs. This grand synthesis is an important new integration of history in the tradition of Spengler and Toynbee. Weaving together evidence from art, archaeology, religion, social science, history, and many other fields of inquiry into new patterns that more accurately fit the best available date, the author creates an accessible and convincing look into prehistoric times, those dimly lit Neolithic and Paleolithic ages when Goddess religions flourished. Perhaps the real story of the quest for the Holy Grail was Camelot's attempt to return to the Golden Age,the age of the Cauldron before the world was ruled by the blade. The author tells a new story of our cultural origins. It shows that war and the war of the sexes are neither divinely nor biologically ordained. And it provides verification that a better future is possible--and is in fact firmly rooted in the haunting drama of what actually happened in our past. The author is an internationally known scholar in peace and feminist issues, a futurist, a lecturer and an attorney. First Edition Second Printing Stated. Hard Back. As New/Very Good. 6" x 9".
