About this audiobook
In 1927, as a twenty-three-year-old postgraduate scholar in Paris, Joseph Campbell first encountered James Joyce's Ulysses. Known for being praised and for kicking up controversy (including an obscenity trial in the United States in 1920), the novel left Campbell both intrigued and confused, as it had many others. Because he was in Paris, he was able to visit the Shakespeare & Company bookstore—the outpost of the original publisher of Ulysses, Sylvia Beach. She gave him "clues" for reading Ulysses, and that, Campbell attested, changed his career. For the next sixty years, Campbell moved through the labyrinths of Joyce's creations—writing and lecturing on Joyce using depth psychology, comparative religion, anthropology, and art history as tools of analysis. Arranged by Joyce scholar Edmund L. Epstein, Mythic Worlds, Modern Words presents a wide range of Campbell's writing and lectures on Joyce, which together form an illuminating running commentary on Joyce's masterworks. Campbell's visceral appreciation for all that was new in Joyce will delight the previously uninitiated, and perhaps intimidated, as well as longtime lovers of both Joyce and Campbell.

16 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you are baffled, confused, or just plain wondering if there is any sense whatsoever in James Joyce's masterpieces of literature, Campbell's writings are a great place to get insight into all of the Joycean puzzles and conundrums. Here he discusses The Portrait of teh Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake. He delves into Joyce's influences and sources and talks about other things that were happening concurrently to his writing in the fields of psychiatry and art and science. A great reference for furthering your understanding of Joyce. This book is published by the Joseph Campbell Foundation as part of the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Campbell and Joyce together — they’re the best! Myth and aesthetics.
