The Hero and the Perennial Journey Home in American Film
Susan Mackey-Kallis
In America, myths find expression primarily in film. Why is the hero quest so persistently renewed and retold? In what ways does this universal myth manifest itself in American cinema? And what is the significance of the popularity of these modern myths? This book explores the appeal of films that recreate and reinterpret this mythic structure.
