Beschrijving

Illustrated in b/w with 3 folding plates, 74 figures, and illustrations on 185 plates. – Erich Neumann (1905-1960) – ‘The massive volume for which Neumann is most renowned, however, is The Great Mother: An Analysis of the Archetype, a study of the Magna Mater that was evidently first published as a 1955 translation into English by Ralph Manheim. […] The Great Mother is a visual feast, a truly essential text with 74 figures and 185 plates of pictures of prehistoric and tribal artifacts of mother goddesses, juxtaposed with striking sculptures and paintings from classical antiquity through theRenaissance.’ – [Camille Paglia – Theorist of the Great Mother] – No dustjacket , otherwise a good copy
