This copy is SIGNED by Dr Martin Shaw
Hardback Book
The figure of Dionysus––who abides within Shaw’s version of Tristan and Isolde––is given full and devastating reign in Euripides’ The Bacchae by Martin Shaw. Insulted by the denigration of his mother, Dionysus brings hallucinatory consequence on the people of Thebes. We enter a world of feminine power, eruptive nature and hard instruction.
‘Fawnskin, ivy garlands, the deadly wand of fennel, we adore the dream of the pinecone. Wake up dark houses! Your instructor has arrived! All are blessed, all are drunk with luck who submit to the shaky mysteries of the Deep God.’
Dr Martin Shaw is a writer, mythographer and Christian thinker, and the author of seventeen books. He is a visiting member of Cambridge University’s Faculty of Divinity and a fellow of the Temenos Academy. He founded the Oral Tradition and Mythic Life courses at Stanford University and directs the Westcountry School of Myth in the UK. For over thirty years, he has worked as a wilderness rites-of-passage guide.
