If there was something we were meant to do with our few, brief years on Earth, we can be sure that the wild twin is holding the key.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eCourting the Wild Twin\u003c\/em\u003e, Dr. Martin Shaw invites us to seek out our wild twin--a metaphor for the part of ourselves that we generally shun or ignore to conform to societal norms--to invite them back into our consciousness, for they have something important to tell us. He challenges us to examine our broken relationship with the world, to think boldly, wildly, and in new ways about ourselves--as individuals and as a collective.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough the use of scholarship, storytelling, and personal reflection, Shaw unpacks two ancient European fairy tales that concern the mysterious wild twin. By reading these tales and becoming storytellers ourselves, he suggests we can restore our agency and confront modern challenges with purpose, courage, and creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCourting the Wild Twin\u003c\/em\u003e is a declaration of literary activism and an antidote to the shallow thinking that typifies our age. Shaw asks us to recognize mythology as a secret weapon--a radical, beautiful, heart-shuddering agent of deep, lasting change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chelsea Green Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603589505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Martin Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661544255644,"sku":"9781603589505","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ccf3570c-9d8e-465a-9ddb-5a941904c859.jpg?v=1603899702","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/courting-the-wild-twin-9781603589505","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
