In Flight of the Wild Gender, mythologist Joseph Campbell—in his first collection of essays, written between 1944 & 1968— explores the individual & geographical origins of myth, outlining the full range of mythology from Grimm's fairy tales to American Indian legends. Originally published in 1969, this collection describes the symbolic content of stories: how they are linked to human experience & how they—along with our experiences—have changed over time. Throughout, Campbell explores the function of mythology in everyday life & the forms it may take in the future.
