Lee M. Owen
The Olive-Tree Bed and Other Quests
Toronto: University of Toronto Press 1997 "The Olive-Tree Bed and Other Quests" the Fourth in the series of Robson Lectures published by the University of Toronto Press is Owen Lee's study of the quest myth as it occurs in Homer's Odyssey Virgil's Aeneid Wagner's Parsifal and Goethe's Faust. Though the four works represent four different genres -- oral epic written epic music drama and poetic drama -- each deals with the finding of an elusive goal attainable only by the hero called to find it. The questing for the olive-tree bed the Golden Bough the Holy Grail and the Eternal Feminine is at the deepest level the hero's search to find the meaning in his life. . this volume is also a personal memoir written in the belletristic style for which its author has become known. Father Lee wears his learning lightly and his writing changes from chapter to chapter as it reflects in turn the clarity and naive sense of wonder in Homer the darkness and ambivalence in Virgil the intuitive mysticism of Wagner and the riotously imaginative exuberance of Goethe. Each of the four quests comes eventually to be seen as every person's search to discover himself -- for the journey of the hero is the myth each of us is called to live. 175. bibliography. index. Softcover. As New. University of Toronto Press unknown

Leeming David
MYTH A Biography of Belief
Oxford University Press. Very Good. 2003. Paperback. 019516105X . Light creasing to front wrap. Minor shelfwear. Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. ; Exploring classic works such as the Song of Songs the Tao Te Ching the Rig Veda the New Testament and the Indonesian myth of Hainuwele Myth: A Biography of Belief reveals the cultural energies that ancient "mythmakers" sought to corral in their creations. David Leeming argues that myths are by definition evolving creations that live on in the work of modern-day "mythmakers" such as W. B. Yeats Virginia Woolf and Albert Einstein. Leeming provides an engaging new outlook on the role of myth in the works of these and other contemporary artists and scientists. The similarities between modern concepts like the "Big Bang" and ancient myths of creation illustrate our continuing need to confront the mysteries of existence by way of metaphor and narrative. Leeming suggests that myth and factual knowledge do not negate but complement each other. Whether it is the "American Dream" alien abduction or belief in virgin birth and resurrection these "living myths" play a very therapeutic role in the development of a healthy society. ; 192 pages .

Very Good in the original salmon cloth with black decorations to boards; title in red on front and spine Unwin monogram likewise on rear. Color frontispiece. Spine darkened and red title dulled 3" tear top edge half-title page light foxing to end pages period interesting bookplate front pastedown. From the collection of the Richard M. Dorson Memorial Library Folklore Institute Indiana University the only library indicators being its stamp verso of frontispiece and blindstamp to title page. With RARE and important three page ALS tipped to front end page sent from Leland at the Hotel Victoria Florence Italy to Mr Sampson noted linguist John Sampson possiby dated 1899 with "99" after heading. "Dear Mr Sampson I have written and sent you separately by this mail that which I contribute to our book." He then discusses his wishes for the Preface and Introduction before adding "The Tinkers. This is quite unfinished. It needs a great deal from you. Please note that I have got some queer items as to the Tinkers of old times." In the next paragraph he mentions Shelta Shelta Thari being an esoteric language spoken by the tinkers which Leland had discovered in 1876. He goes on to ask "Can you send me an Old Irish alphabet' and later "I hope it will not take you long to put together what you and Professor Meyer will give" referring to Professor Kuno Meyer a German scholar distinguished in the field of Celtic philology and literature. Then an address in Hamburg Germany where he can be reached after June and "Sincerely Charle G. Leland". While I can find no book that these three men published together Sampson and Meyer did much work later to carry forward research and knowledge of the Shelta language and customs. A quite fascinating correspondence and ASSOCIATION COPY. . HOLOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED. First Trade Edition. Decorative Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket As Issued. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. T.
