Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From ancient myth to contemporary art and literature, a beguiling look at the many incarnations of the mischievous - and culturally immortal - god Pan, now in paperback.Pan - he of the cloven hoof and lustful grin, beckoning through the trees. From classical myth to modern literature, film and music, the god Pan has fascinated and terrified the western imagination. 'Panic' is the name given to the peculiar feeling we experience in his presence. Still, the ways in which Pan has been imagined have varied wildly fitting for a god even whose name the ancients confused with the Greek word meaning 'all'.Part-goat, part-man, Pan bridges the divide between the human and animal worlds. In exquisite prose, Paul Robichaud explores how he has been imagined in mythology, art, literature, music, spirituality and popular culture through the centuries. At times, Pan is a dangerous, destabilising force; at others, a source of fertility and renewal. His portrayals reveal shifting anxieties about our own animal impulses and our relationship to nature. Always the outsider, he has been the god of choice for gay writers, occult practitioners, and New Age mystics. Though ancient sources announced his death, he has lived on through the work of Arthur Machen, Gustav Mahler, Kenneth Grahame, D. H. Lawrence and countless others. Pan: The Great God's Modern Return traces his intoxicating dance. 'A fascinating account of a strange god with meme-like reach across the ages, and a study in the temporal shapeshifting of mythology itself.' - Spectator'The multiple identities and reincarnations of Pan are eloquently examined by Robichaud in this fascinating book. Every age has its own version of Pan that echoes his Greek origins.This book is probably the most extensive study of Pan attempted. And it's very well written. Robichaud is not only an academic but a published poet and it shows in the elegance of his sentences - sensitive and careful attention is given to the shades of meaning attached to Pan.And it's not just the words but the images that captivate. The book has a generous number of color illustrations.If you are looking for a pleasurable source book on everything about Pan then Robinchaud's is it. An important and self-recommending study. I loved it.' - Alan Price, Magonia Review of Books'An insightful and stimulating read! Recommended.' - Choice'It is this long history of variation in both what he is and what he represents that Robichaud's recent book Pan: The Great God's Modern Return explores. By examining how the god has been understood and represented down through history, Robichaud presents a multifaceted and remarkably changeable portrait of a deity whose history is filled with mysteries, tricks, and turnings as represented in the wealth of stories, songs, and images in which he has appeared.Very interesting - as well as enlightening.' - Well-read Naturalist'If you are interested in Pan in any way, from his presence in literature or art to his magical presence in myth and vision, and the myriad ways that his shape flits throughout human history, be it on the edges or in our midst, then Pan: The Great God's Modern Return is simply a must-purchase. It is, without doubt, the most wide-ranging treatment of the goat-foot god I've ever read, combining thorough attention to detail and research, yet at the same time highly accessible to a general reader.This book is a tremendous achievement and deserves a treasured place on the bookshelf of anyone who hearkens to the call of Pan.' - Enfolding.org'This is simply the most wide-ranging and up-to-date exploration of the impact of Pan on the Western imagination yet written.' - Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Stories of the Stones explores how ancient monuments standing stones, megaliths and earthworks have been reimagined across the centuries in folklore, literature, art and popular culture. From medieval myths to Romantic fascination and from folk-horror cinema to Julian Cope, the powerful stories inspired by these enigmatic sites reflect the beliefs and anxieties of each era. Spanning Britain, Ireland and Brittany, the book includes iconic places such as Stonehenge and Newgrange, as well as lesser-known sites steeped in local lore. While the monuments' original meanings remain mysterious, our interpretations reveal deep emotional and cultural connections to the ancient landscape. Richly illustrated and wide-ranging, this book is ideal for readers interested in prehistoric monuments, storytelling traditions and the enduring power of place. Uncovers the rich cultural afterlife of ancient stones and sacred landscapes. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
