The myth of the goddess

The myth of the goddess

By Anne Baring

Subjects: Goddesses, Nonfiction, English Authors, Criticism, Diaries, New York Times reviewed, Goddesses in art, Scholarly, English Novelists

Description: A comprehensive, scholarly accessible study, in which the authors draw upon poetry and mythology, art and literature, archaeology and psychology to show how the myth of the goddess has been lost from our formal Judeo-Christian images of the divine. They explain what happened to the goddess, when, and how she was excluded from western culture, and the implications of this loss.
