Description
Part-goat, part-man, Pan bridges the divide between the human and animal worlds.
In exquisite prose, Paul Robichaud explores how Pan has been imagined in mythology, art, literature, music, spirituality and popular culture through the centuries.
At times, Pan is a dangerous, destabilizing force; at others, a source of fertility and renewal.
His portrayals reveal shifting anxieties about our own animal impulses and our relationship to nature.
Always the outsider, he has been the god of choice for gay writers, occult practitioners, and New Age mystics.
Though ancient sources announced his death, he has lived on through the work of Arthur Machen, Gustav Mahler, Kenneth Grahame, D.
H. Lawrence and countless others. Pan: The Great God's Modern Return traces his intoxicating dance.
