Rees Alwin; Rees Brinley
L'eredità celtica. Antiche tradizioni d'Irlanda e del Galles
ill. Un ampio e serio saggio che, lungi dall'identificare la civiltà dei Celti con i simboli della New Age di altre interpretazioni alla moda, analizza le antiche tradizioni dell'Irlanda e del Galles attraverso i testi del francese Dumézil, del romeno Eliade, dell'austriaco Zimmer, dell'anglo indiano Coomaraswamy e, poi, dell'americano Campbell con riferimenti anche alle teorie dello psicologo svizzero Jung. I miti celtici sono visti dai due autori come dei serbatoi dell'immaginario collettivo occidentale, portatori di significati che non si possono completamente ricondurre alle categorie della ragione, o spiegare per mezzo della storia e della scienza.

Reid Jane Davidson & Chris Rohmann
THE OXFORD GUIDE TO CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY IN THE ARTS 1300-1990S 2 VOLUME SET Volume I & Volume II
Oxford University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0195049985 . Scholar's name to ffeps Robert Brown. Else books are fine. ; Daring in concept and astonishing in scope The Oxford Guide to Classical Mythology in the Arts is a unique reference work: a topically classified chronology of more than 30000 artworks from circa 1300 to the present day that take as their theme the subjects of Greek and Roman mythology. In more than three hundred major entries alphabetically arranged by subject artworks are listed in chronological order delineating the history of artistic interest in the subject including painting sculpture music dance opera drama and literature over the last seven centuries. By bringing together information heretofore segregated by discipline time period or other constraint Jane Davidson Reid has created an invaluable tool for the study of the history of the arts in the Western world. Ranging from Achilles to Zeus entries cover all the important mythic beings of the classical world from gods goddesses and heroes to nymphs shepherds and satyrs. A headnote to each entry identifies the subject briefly describes relevant events and episodes recounted in Greek and Roman myths and explains thematic cross-currents represented in the list of artworks that follows. A list of classical literary sources follows the headnote. Each listing of an artwork includes the artist's name the title of the work and the date of its creation publication or first performance as appropriate. Also noted are the medium or genre of the work the present location of works in the fine arts and other pertinent information. Sources of data on each artwork appear in each listing. Enhanced by a comprehensive system of cross-references a complete list of the sources of data cited in the listings and an extensive artist index which will enable readers to locate works by a given artist across numerous entries this work presents its vast body of data in a way that is easily accessible to specialist and nonspecialist alike. No other work equals its interdisciplinary scope; no other work matches its usefulness to historians of the arts; and no other work possesses its appeal to scholars students and general readers interested in classical mythology and its enduring popularity in Western traditions of artistic expression. ; 2 Volume Set COMPLETE; Vol. 2020-01-02; 1344 pages; Overseas shipping may incur extra charges. .
