Mythcon 49 - On The Shoulders Of Giants, The Mythopoeic Society Jul 2018

Mythcon 49 - On The Shoulders Of Giants, The Mythopoeic Society

Mythcon Programs

The Mythopoeic Society has launched into a series of 50th anniversaries: the founding of the Society in 2017, the conception and launch of our scholarly journal Mythlore in 2018, and the establishment of our Mythopoeic Conference in 2019. Our theme is suggested by the ways in which Inklings scholarship has built on such good foundations.

We will celebrate these foundations and fifty years of building "On the Shoulders of Giants" at Mythcon 49.

Lewis. Like the authors of these books, Donald …

Treehouses: Civilizing The Wildness Of Men And Nature, Courtney Mckinney May 2018

Treehouses: Civilizing The Wildness Of Men And Nature, Courtney Mckinney
