Becker's hypothesis about psychic and spiritual unity within the Rankian idea of a hero provides the framework for this book. By extending Rank's and Becker's conceptions of heroism from a developmental process involving a «World Hero Child,» through a Monomythic narrative sequence (Campbell, 1968), and on into the literary texts of American fiction, this book illustrates Becker's wisdom. At the same time, it explores the implications that remain undeveloped in Becker's The Denial of Death, implications about gender, about modern technocratic life and about popular culture as blocks to heroism. The result is a synthesis of mythic-textual-psychoanalytical theory into a belief system that is perpetuated by resonant readings.
The Author: Ron Evans, an English Professor at the University of West Florida-Pensacola, has been a practicing linguist, psycho-linguist, and rhetorician for the past 25 years. His books include studies of syntactic development and cultural heritage of the Southeastern U.S. His interest in the Monomyth and Joseph Campbell began in the mid 1960's and has yielded several published articles in literary journals. Dr. Evans has also been trained in the special field application of Transactional Analysis to native language instruction.
