Mr. Murder ... ... Some of my books are part of a series and will stay listed on the Series Coverage page. And in case of doubt, like e.g. the Deptford Trilogy, I will readily accept the series status.
Thank you again, and maybe this discussion can contribute something to the LT architecture... And The Deptford trilogy is a unquestionably a series, since it is (and was originally published as) three novels, not one novel split up into three parts for the convenience of readers and publishers. It may be published as one book today, but it is still a series.

Yes, that's six, not five. Will ... Re #75: varielle, what works beside The Deptford Trilogy? Or did you mean all of them? The Manticore is definitely Jungian, the second of the Deptford Trilogy.
I did a search onthe tag, Jung, and came up with two titles that I think are worth considering:
C. G. Jung. Memories, Dreams, Reflections, which is autobiographical.
June Singer. Boundaries of the Soul: the ... ... reading Fifth Business. It was going to be the ONLY Davies book I'd read but now I think I will at least finish the Deptford Trilogy I would love to see Robertson Davies' Salterton Trilogy and Cornish Trilogy as companions to the current Deptford Trilogy.
Also Fagles translation of The Aeneid in the same design as his current translations of The Odyssey and The Illiad ... to it. About 3 or 4 years ago I 'discovered' the utterly sublime Robertson Davies. The first of his books I read was The Deptford Trilogy and my heart ached with the beauty of the writing. Within fairly quick succession I bought The Cunning Man, Murther & Walking Spirits, The Saltert ... ... book was the perfect capstone to what I think is the best of the three trilogies (though it's been so long since I read the Deptford Trilogy that I can't really rank it accurately).

As always with these lists, the problem is what to ... On to Kurt Vonnegut's Galapagos and Robertson Davies' Deptford Trilogy. ... other books, because I haven't read them, I can at least put in a plug, as I've done before, for Robertson Davies and The Deptford Trilogy. I will say (again) that liked The cornish Trilogy even better, but the former IMO is excellent. ... number of books I've been wanting to read: Iris Murdoch's The Bell, Paul Auster's New York Trilogy, Robertson Davies' Deptford Trilogy, and Nancy Mitford's The Pursuit of Love. I couldn't decide which one I wanted to read, though, so I picked a different one, Connie Willis' Bellwether. ... #43: Davies' Deptford Trilogy is probably next up on my reading pile, after I finish the book(s) I'm working on now. I'm looking forward to it. Very evocative haiku! You might enjoy Robertson Davies' Deptford Trilogy or Cornish Trilogy. They qualify perhaps more as fantastic literature than fantasy, but they're definitely worth a read. Also, take a look at Russell Hoban's adult novels -- Riddley Walker and The Lion of Boaz Jachin and Jachin-Boaz ... ... others have above) would include a few representative titles from the Southern Ontario Gothic category: Robertson Davies's Deptford Trilogy, Alice Munro's Lives of Girls and Women, Margaret Atwood's Cat's Eye.
Books coming out of Toronto the immigrant city might include Judy Fong Bates's ... ... want to have What's Bred in the Bone and World of Wonders, so I'd better add in ombnibi of The Cornish Trilogy and The Deptford Trilogy, too. That's eight. Oh, and I most definitely want The Little Prince, so nine.
And number ten... well, that's hard. Very, very hard. Has anyone been encouraged to look further at Jungian ideas from reading Robertson Davies? Certainly the Deptford Trilogy goes considerably into this.
I think my interest in Jung predated my interest in Davies, but found a fellow traveler when I read The Rebel Angels, which I don't think is ... ... I read all the way back in a devouring way was Robertson Davies. After reading the Cornish Trilogy, I read the Deptford Trilogy and then the Salterton Trilogy. How about a trilogy of trilogies? Robertson Davies wrote all three, or all nine:
Salterton Trilogy
Deptford Trilogy
Cornish Trilogy ... the name of the novel set at an Jungian institute in Switzerland.
That would be The Manticore, the second in the Deptford Trilogy. ... challenge:
5. Tempest-Tost by Robertson Davies (Book 1 of the Salterton Trilogy)
So far, not as wonderful as the Deptford Trilogy, which I read several years ago, but it was quite enjoyable. This somewhat reminded me of Byatt's The Virgin in the Garden, as it deals with the ... Elizabeth Jane Howard's Cazalet books are some of my all-time favourites, and I really liked The Deptford Trilogy as well. I don't know much about the Robert Cooper books you mentioned, though. Can you tell me a little more? ... Later Life by Robert Cooper. In the same vein I like the Raj Quartet by Paul Scott and sneaking over to Canada The Deptford Trilogy, Salterton Trilogy and The Cornish Trilogy byRobertson Davies.
Any one share this taste? What are your favorites? ... for The Cornish Trilogy by Robertson Davies; What's Bred in the Bone is one of my very favourite books. The Deptford Trilogy is also worth checking out; I liked World of Wonders best out of those three, though Fifth Business was also pretty wounderful.
Margaret Drabbl ... I just logged on to the US site and searched for "Deptford" and found the Deptford Trilogy. Then searched for "Davies" and found it that way also. They're not pushing the 'Castaways' series now, but are pushing the spring sale. I don't know how you would find anything on Castaways right now.
... I couldn't order fast enough when I saw The Deptford Trilogy had made the cut. And I love Peter Suart's choice of a tarot card theme for the illustrations; nothing could've suited those novels better. I'm looking forward to curling up with Labrynths as well.
It's quite surprising that Folio ... ... which is actually the second novel of the Salterton trilogy (all of which I liked very much). I wasn't as fond of the Deptford trilogy. The collection of short stories I mentioned in the Ontario thread, High Spirits, is wonderful - highly amusing send-up of academia.
