1944ref. 55458New York: Harcourt Brace and Company 1944. First printing. Near fine in a very good plus jacket. Inscribed first edition association copy of this effort to unpuzzle Joyce's famously inscrutable masterpiece - signed to the famed Jungian analyst Erlo van Waveren. Erlo van Waveren practiced psychotherapy in New York with his wife Ann for more than four decades. Both studied with Carl Jung and were regular attendees at the Jung Institute. Campbell himself was famously influenced by Jung and edited an edition of his work an influence heavily reflected in this Campbell's first book which investigates Joyce's "monomyth" an idea deeply indebted to the renowned psychologist's idea of the "collective unconscious." The van Waverans were also instrumental in the establishment of the Bollingen Series which published Campbell's most important work THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES. It was Elro and Ann who introduced Paul and Amy Mellon benefactors of the series to Jung after whose Bollingen Tower the series was named and whose work served as its driving influence. A warm and significant association. 8'' x 5.25''. Original green cloth boards. Original price-clipped yellow printed dust jacket. 2 xiv 366 2 pages.
