Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. 111 pp., 8vo, blue cloth, gilt spine title, dustjacket. Frontispiece drawing by Muriel Metcalfe. Literary critic and theorist Northrop Frye comments on this work thus: "The authors believe that Jung's theory of 'archetypes' has provided a formula for gathering together the myths of all countries into a single gigantic mythical form, in which the death-and-resurrection pattern founded on the return of spring looms most prominently. This thesis has got far beyond the stage of intuitive guesswork which they appear still to be in, but their comments are often illuminating and some of the illustrative poems, notably 'The Sleeper in the Earth,' have much eloquent and haunting power" (Canadian Forum, 27 (September 1947): 143, quoted in Frye: The Educated Imagination and Other Writings on Critical Theory 1933-1963, 58). One of 500 copies, this copy out of series. Very good, generally well-preserved copy; contents somewhat browned, as usual, backstrip mildly faded; mildly soiled and toned dustjacket is price-clipped and has some wear at the top edge and spine panel.
