Beyond the Sword Maiden: A Storyteller’s Introduction to the Heroine’s Journey

Autor Dorothy Cleveland & Barbara Schutzgruber
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 dec 2017 – vârsta ani
"All too often both traditional storytellers and the media regard the Hero's Journey as the "one true recipe for a good story." In this well-researched and clearly written book, Dorothy Cleveland and Barbara Schutzgruber prove that there are other kinds of stories that are just as essential to the human experience: tales of survival and transformation that we may encounter at any point in our lives. With deep knowledge and personal honesty, these two incredible women bring us the Heroine's Journey, tracing its origins and possibilities from the oldest folktales to life in the 21st century. This book is a much-needed addition to any storyteller's resource library."

Recenzii

" In this well-researched and clearly written book, Dorothy Cleveland and Barbara Schutzgruber provide stories that are essential to the human experience: tales of survival and transformation that we may encounter at any point in our lives. With deep knowledge and personal honesty, they trace story origins … from the oldest folktales to life in the 21st century. A much-needed addition to any storyteller's resource library."
 

“This warm and easy read provides a clear starter recipe for crafting your own heroine’s journey. Grounded in personal experience, Dorothy and Barbara are true champions for a feminine story map.”
 

”An instructive, fascinating account of the heroine in folk tradition.  Beyond the Sword Maiden is a valuable resource of exempla for writers, tale tellers, and counselors.  The relationship of heroism to events in the modern world is particularly meaningful.”
 

"…A clear, concise guide that a psychotherapist could use to assist clients in re­framing difficult life challenges into a heroine journey narrative. Such a narrative would empower the client to resolve conflicts and dissolve barriers, to emerge as a self-proclaimed heroine in her own story. The combination of compelling stories followed by mapping of the narratives into the stepping stones of a heroine's journey is powerful. I recommend the application of this book as an accessible method of psychotherapy for ages 8 through adulthood."
