The Swiss thinker J.J. Bachofen is most often connected with his
theory of matriarchy, or "Mother Right", but that concept is only a
small part of his contribution to our understanding of cultural
history. A pioneer of the idea of a transcendent mythical content
present in all societies, Bachofen was deeply concerned with the
inner life and how it is expressed in symbolic terms. He had a
profound influence on a number of European philosophers and
indirectly affected American ethnology through Lewis Henry Morgan,
student of the American Indian. This book includes an
autobiographical essay and selections from "An Essay on Ancient
Mortuary Symbolism", "Mother Right", and "The Myth of Tanaquil".
