'It is at once an extraordinary piece of highly diversified scholarship and an excellent critical reading of major literary works read for their intrinsic pertinence. To read this book is truly to plunge into the dazzling and awesome realm of our collective mythical yet real imagination, our swarming psyche of light and darkness.'
