- Synopsis
- Ellwood (Religion, U. of Southern California) delves into the political views implicit in the mythological theories of probably the three best-known popularizers of myth in the 20th century. He points that all three emerged from the anti-modern pessimism and romanticism that also generated European fascism, and have all been accused of holding fascists and anti-Semitic sentiments. He assesses those charges in light of their entire career and lifetime contribution.
