Joseph Campbell Study Guides

“We are excited to announce the launch of a new series of study guides for books by Joseph Campbell. Written by a team of today’s experts in myth, these guides help readers experience and apply Campbell’s visionary ideas. The first book in the series, Goddesses: A Skeleton Key Study Guide is available now.” – Joseph Campbell Foundation

Some years ago, Campbell had a series of televised conversations with Bill Moyers about comparative mythology that brought his ideas to a large audience. I’m happy to see this study guide project and hope it will facilitate a deeper understanding of Campbell’s work.

Malcolm R. Campbell followed Joseph Campbell’s “Hero’s Journey” motif in writing the contemporary fantasy novels, “The Sun Singer” and its sequel “Sarabande.” The basis for the hero’s journey comes from Campbell’s “The Hero With a Thousand Faces.”
