A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake

A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake

"A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake" (1944) by mythologist Joseph Campbell and Henry Morton Robinson is a work of literary criticism. One of the first major texts to provide an in-depth analysis of "Finnegans Wake" (James Joyce's final novel), "A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake" is considered by many scholars to be a seminal work on the text [http://www.themodernword.com/Joyce/joyce_crit_3.html] . The term "monomyth", which Campbell used to describe his journey of the hero in his book, "The Hero With a Thousand Faces", came from "Finnegans Wake."
