Editor's Note
This conversation between Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell took place in 1985 and 1986 at
George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch and later at the Museum of Natural History in New York. Many of us
who read the original transcripts were struck by the rich abundance of material captured during the
twenty-four hours of filming -- much of which had to be cut in making the six-hour PBS series. The idea
for a book arose from the desire to make this material available not only to viewers of the series but also
to those who have long appreciated Campbell through reading his books.
In editing this book, I attempted to be faithful to the flow of the original conversation while at the
same time taking advantage of the opportunity to weave in additional material on the topic from
wherever it appeared in the transcripts. When I could, I followed the format of the TV series. But the
book has its own shape and spirit and is designed to be a companion to the series, not a replica of it. The
book exists, in part, because this is a conversation of ideas worth pondering as well as watching.
On a more profound level, of course, the book exists because Bill Moyers was willing to address
the fundamental and difficult subject of myth -- and because Joseph Campbell was willing to answer
Moyers' penetrating questions with self-revealing honesty, based on a lifetime of living with myth. I am
grateful to both of them for the opportunity to witness this encounter, and to Jacqueline Kennedy
Onassis, the Doubleday editor, whose interest in the ideas of Joseph Campbell was the prime mover in
the publication of this book. I am grateful, also, to Karen Bordelon, Alice Fisher, Lynn Cohea, Sonya
Haddad, Joan Konner, and John Flowers for their support, and especially to Maggie Keeshen for her
many retypings of the manuscript and for her keen editorial eye. For help with the manuscript, I am
grateful to Judy Doctoroff, Andie Tucher, Becky Berman, and Judy Sandman. The major task of
illustration research was done by Vera Aronow, Lynn Novick, Elizabeth Fischer, and Sabra Moore, with
help from Annmari Ronnberg. Both Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell read the manuscript and offered
