商品簡介
Using mythographer Joseph Campbell's concept of the hero journey as a framework, Duncan (English, Concordia College-Moorhead, Minnesota) explores four categories of movies based on Irish tradition and history. They are childhood and the magic of myth, falling in love and the lore of matchmaking, serving society and the legend of the rebel, and the journey of the contemporary anti-hero.
