Summing Up: Essential. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; faculty.
This is a judicious, thoughtful and well-balanced selection of scholarly studies on mythology. The editors include classic essays by famous thinkers, as well as synopses and critiques from a contemporary standpoint. They also helpfully organize the volume into clusters that provide robust intellectual and pedagogical guidelines for teachers and students.
This is an eminent collection on myth and the study of it – with breadth and variety. The contributions range from the indispensable classic must-reads to new, creative and constructive submissions to the ongoing discussions in a notoriously complicated field in the humanities.
