Critics Review

“There can be no doubt that [Neumann] has brought to his task a remarkable … knowledge of classical mythology, some considerable acquaintance with the comparative study of religion, and a deep understanding of those psychological views and theories evolved by C. G. Jung.”–The Times Literary Supplement “A welcome source of information for all those who are touched by the relationship between man and his myths.”–The New York Times “No better exposition has come to us of the two Jungian themes: the evolution of consciousness in the history of mankind and the development of personality in the individual.”–The Personalist
