From classical myth to modern literature, film, and music, the god Pan has long fascinated and terrified the western imagination. \"Panic\" is the name given to the peculiar feeling we experience in his presence. Still, the ways in which Pan has been imagined have varied wildly--fitting for a god whose very name the ancients confused with the Greek word meaning \"all.\" 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; sometimes, 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. And although 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. \u003ci\u003ePan: The Great God's Modern Return\u003c\/i\u003e traces his intoxicating dance.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA native of Toronto, \u003cb\u003ePaul Robichaud\u003c\/b\u003e is professor and chair of English at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, Connecticut.
