About this product
Product Information
Pan - he of the cloven hoof and lustful grin, beckoning through the trees. 'Panic' is the name given to the peculiar feeling we experience in his presence. Part-goat, part-man, Pan bridges the divide between the human and animal worlds. In exquisite prose, Paul Robichaud explores how he 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. Always the outsider, he has been the god of choice for 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.

Reviews
A fascinating account of a strange god with meme-like reach across the ages, and a study in the temporal shapeshifting of mythology itself., Robichaud opens the doors to this both mystical and magical figure who has pervaded our history and literature. Starting with Pan's origins in ancient Arcadia we're taken through a labyrinthine journey through time, and sometimes space, to gain insight into Pan's influence . . . Robichaud creates not only the most extensive account of one of mythology's most elusive characters, but also creates a history emboldened with a charm and style that will captivate and engage any reader., It is this long history of variation in both what he is and what he represents that Robichaud's recent book Pan: The Great God's Modern Return explores. By examining how the god has been understood and represented down through history, Robichaud presents a multifaceted and remarkably changeable portrait of a deity whose history is filled with mysteries, tricks, and turnings as represented in the wealth of stories, songs, and images in which he has appeared. . . . Very interesting--as well as enlightening., This is simply the most wide-ranging and up-to-date exploration of the impact of Pan on the Western imagination yet written., The multiple identities and reincarnations of Pan are eloquently examined by Robichaud in this fascinating book. Every age has its own version of Pan that echoes his Greek origins. . . . This book is probably the most extensive study of Pan attempted. And it's very well written. Robichaud is not only an academic but a published poet and it shows in the elegance of his sentences--sensitive and careful attention is given to the shades of meaning attached to Pan. . . . And it's not just the words but the images that captivate. The book has a generous number of color illustrations. . . . If you are looking for a pleasurable source book on everything about Pan then Robinchaud's is it. An important and self-recommending study. I loved it., Probably the most thorough overview of the Arcadian goat-footed deity ever written. The book traces the history of Pan from his ancient past to his contemporary depictions. . . You'll leave with a greater understanding of this vast, complex, and often paradoxical and contradictory deity throughout time., If you are interested in Pan in any way, from his presence in literature or art to his magical presence in myth and vision, and the myriad ways that his shape flits throughout human history, be it on the edges or in our midst, then Pan: The Great God's Modern Return is simply a must-purchase. It is, without doubt, the most wide-ranging treatment of the goat-foot god I've ever read, combining thorough attention to detail and research, yet at the same time highly accessible to a general reader. . . . This book is a tremendous achievement and deserves a treasured place on the bookshelf of anyone who hearkens to the call of Pan., We get the pleasure of seeing this goat-like god pop up everywhere from classic children's literature to romantic novels to early environmentalist tracts. . . . The result is a tour de force.
