Raphael Falco, English, Publishes Book

Raphael Falco, professor of English, has published “Charisma and Myth” (Continuum, 2010), which combines an interdisciplinary examination of myth with the newest developments in the application of charisma theory to history and social life. Of his book, Robert Segal, sixth century chair in religious studies at the University of Aberdeen, said, “An original take on the place of myth in the modern world. And very well written to boot.” Robert Ellwood, author of “Myth: A Guide for the Perplexed and Tales of Darkness” said, “Raphael Falco’s ‘Charisma and Myth’ is an important contribution to the study of myth as well as sociology. This is a powerful book which is bound to make an impact.”
