Good but not what I was looking for.

Entries are very good and informative for cultural studies. I was interested in it for dream analysis where it was not as good, although it is a tall order to cover a scope so wide. For instance, I thought there would be something symbolic for digging a hole or flying perhaps, but to no avail. Maybe I haven't got the right book and need one with the word 'Dreams' in the title somewhere.

Excellent resource

This is an excellent resource for the study of literature. I love watching my students use this book to heighten their understanding of the material we cover. I am constantly amazed by the connections they make that I never considered!

Great book

I fone is studying philosophy, literature, anthropology, history or religion, this book could be a tremendous help. It covers symbols from all cultures and describes their uses and effect. Lots of diagrams and easy to follow.

A rose, a cross, a heart, and hundreds of other common items hold great symbolic value--their meanings as varied as they are powerful. This encyclopedic work explores the rich and diverse meanings of more than 2,000 symbols, delving into the power of symbols in the past and present worlds of mythology, fairy tales, religion, literature, history, and archaeology. Over 600 illustrations.
