Synopsis
Searches out the origins & allure of the myth of Man the Hunter. Shows us how hunting has figured in the western imagination from the myth of Artemis to the tale of Bambi -- & how its evolving image has reflected our own view of ourselves. Takes us back through literature & history to other versions of the hunting hypothesis. By delving further into the history of hunting, from its promotion as a maker of men & builder of character to its image as an aristocratic pastime, charged with ritual & eroticism, Cartmill shows how the hunter has always stood between the human domain & the wild, his status changing with cultural conceptions of that boundary.
