Book Description
The hero in literature and film is an expression of seasonal occurrence. His behavior exhibits, symbolically, the relationship of the sun to the earth in twelve phases, beginning at the March equinox and proceeding through he natural year. As all works of literature and film either indicate or suggest a seasonal moment, all heroes, as shown by reference to over a hundred novels, plays, short stories, and films, are characterized by force of aesthetic sublimation in sympathy with their seasonal set.
