SynopsisThis volume explores the whole inner story of modern culture since the Dark Ages, treating modern man's unique position as the creator of his own mythology.
An excellent conclusion to Joseph Campbells "Masks of God" series. It brings the reader to the modern era of Secular Myth through Art, Music, and Film.
