Exceptional Myth Resource,
By Dave Alber (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Myth: A Handbook (Greenwood Folklore Handbooks) (Hardcover)
`Myth: A Handbook' by William G. Doty strongly argues the contemporary importance of the study of mythology. With a keen eye on our present culture, Doty writes about myths from the past and their continuity with the mythopoetic imagination of current authors, pop icons, and spiritual movements. Doty explores the functions of myth in societies and with keen discrimination compares and contrasts the methods of study among scholars. His book provides a brief survey of the world's mythological traditions and shows the myths in context with other aspects of cultural life. It ends with a good list of resources and glossary. `Myth: A Handbook' is an excellent overview of a vast topic. An exceptional resource!
