Synopsis

Excerpt from The Tower and the Abyss: An Inquiry Into the Transformation of the Individual

The present study evolved from series of lectures which were given first in 1947 at Black Mountain College, then in 1948 at Cornell University, and finally, in the Spring of 1955, in a new and much amplified version, under the auspices of the Christian Gauss Seminars in Criticism at Princeton University.
