Essays on a science of mythology

This Reference book is for use only in the Library. Hardbound; 289 pp., including 5 black-and-white plates, bibliographic references in footnotes, and two indices. The material included in this first American edition has a complex publication history. It was first published in Amsterdam, Leipzig, and Zürich in 1941 under the title "Einführung in das Wesen der Mytholgie." The first American edition (©1949) was followed by a revised edition under the same title, published by Princeton University Press (©1963). Jung's revised contributions were published separately in his Collected Works (CW 9/i; ¶259-¶383). Kerenyi's revised contributions were published in his "Eleusis: Archetypal Image of Mother and Daughter" (Bollingen Series LXV; 4; ©1967). Copies of these titles are among the Library's holdings. The revised Princeton Edition of 1963 does not include plates and has only one index. Contents: Prolegomena / C. Kerényi I. The primordial child in primordial times / C. Kerényi II. A.
