Campbell had already edited Heinrich Zimmer's "The King and... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Broadview Press
Price: $9.85
Customer Review:
Like Poe, strong roots in its Gothic horror era make this story too wordy to be read as a contemporary classic (contradiction in terms, I suppose), but the basic storyline does stand up over time.

This book is good for anyone looking for a little insight! I'd recommend this book to not only women, but men as well.

from New World Library
Price: $13.60
Customer Review:
I was required to read this book for a theology course. Both the teacher and students in the course were apprehensive, because Campbell is not a theologian, and, in fact, has quite evident biases towards particular religions.
