전기 및 작가의 여정
Joseph Campbell was born in New York City in 1904, the first child of a middle-class Roman Catholic family. Fascinated by mythology from a young age, Campbell spent hours reading about Native American cultures and visiting the American Museum of Natural History, where totem poles and artifacts fueled his imagination and curiosity. He attended Dartmouth initially but soon transferred to Columbia University, where he majored in English and medieval literature. After completing his master’s degree, Campbell continued his studies in Paris and Munich, delving into Old French, Sanskrit, modern art, and depth psychology, absorbing influences from prominent figures like James Joyce, Thomas Mann, Sigmund Freud, and Carl Jung.
