FROM THE PUBLISHER - ROBERT DUNCAN in this ESSAY IN ESSENTIAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY first published in the distinguished Crown Octavo series of the House of Books, New York, presents the role that myth plays in the life of a contemporary consciousness, relating the poet's experience of the reality of myth to problems of myth that arise in Christian experience and in the intellectual fields of the modern theologian, the anthropologist, the psychoanalyst, the phenomenologist. THE TRUTH & LIFE OF MYTH stands as a major part - along with his work-in-progress THE H.D. BOOK - in a projective imagination of the nature of Man and his Reality which has occupied Duncan's creative energies in three volumes over the past decade: THE OPENING OF THE FIELD (1960), ROOTS AND BRANCHES (1964), and BENDING THE BOW (1968). inventory #3407 ISBN: 0912090189.
