Zusammenfassung:Gustafson discusses the career of Robert Bly. Long before Bly became permanently identified as the author of Iron John and a leader of the "mythopoetic" men's movement, in the 1960s and '70s he was a dominant force in the literary life of the US.

Surely Bly knew that one day, inevitably, a mutiny against him would arise.
