From his days in college through the 1940s, Joseph Campbell turned his hand to writing fiction.Larsen and Larsen, op. cit., pp. 96–211, passim. In many of his later stories (published in the posthumous collection Mythic Imagination) he began to explore the mythological themes that he was discussing in his Sarah Lawrence classes. These ideas turned him eventually from fiction to non-fiction.
