To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Communities increasingly cannot be isolated or enclosed. A mythology cannot inhibit the range of possibilities but must actually provide for the unexpected. Campbell believes the creative mythology witnessed in the western world today had its beginnings in the middle of the twelfth century. Before that time, the dicta of authority and tradition still presided over life; mythologies were immured in a respect for inherited forms. The individual was meant to share in the comimunal expression of a ...mythology and thus bind himself to the past and inherited meanings. Instead, in creative mythology the individual takes his own experience here and. now, expressing it for others if they wish to receive it. Attention to immediate, worldly life supercedes the otherworldly structures which dictated value and prescribed action. The wane of religious mythology in modern life is undisputed; Campbell, using primarily Gottfried von Strass- burg's Tristan und Isold and Wolfram von Eschenback's Parsival, 55 demonstrates the secularization of myth (after the Christianizing of myth in the West) occurring as early as the thirteenth century.
