Product Description
In Hero-Ego in Search of Self, Judy Anne White offers a perceptive explanation for continued interest in the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf. Building upon the earlier work of Jeffery Helterman and John Miles Foley, she argues that the sum of all confrontations between hero and monster in Beowulf equals the process of individual psychological development identified by Carl Jung as individuation. Dr. Whites study proposes that the heros struggle is the universal struggle towards self-knowledgeand that Beowulf thus resonates for the contemporary reader as it did for the poets original audience.
