description: In 1927 Joseph Campbell was given clues to reading James Joyce's labyrinthine Ulysses by its original publisher Sylvia Beach &amp;, as he said, it changed his career. His discoveries became the foundation for his later work in comparative mythology. To analyze Ulysses &amp; Joyce's other works, he employed depth psychology, anthropology, religion &amp; art history as tools. A treasure for Joyce &amp; Campbell fans alike, Mythic Worlds, Modern Words collects 60 years of his writings, lectures &amp; other commentary on Joyce, including exchanges with his audiences &amp; his 1941 Joyce obituary.
