Compare Gleanings by Christine Downing, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Gleanings is a gathering of hitherto uncollected essays written by Christine Downing during the quarter century since the publication in 1981 of her seminal book, "The Goddess: Mythological Images of the Feminine." Many of the essays continue her exploration of Greek goddess traditions and other aspects of Greek mythology. Others grow out of her ongoing involvement with the thought of both Freud and Jung. The interrelationship between polis and psyche, city and soul, is a central theme of several of these papers, including those that focus on the Holocaust. Various facets of lesbian and gay experience are also examined. | Gleanings by Christine Downing, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
