This multidisciplinary study is the first book devoted entirely to
the critical interpretation of the writings of Mircea Eliade on
myth. One of the most popular and influential historians and
theorists of myth, Eliade argued that all myth is religious.
Douglas Allen critically interprets Eliade's theories of religion,
myth, and symbolism and analyses many of the controversial issues
in Eliade's treatment of myth including whether Eliade's approach
deals adequately with the relationship between myth and history and
how Eliade's anti-modern perspective makes sense of myth in modern
culture. A valuable resource for scholars in religious studies,
philosophy, anthropology, and history, this book enables readers
not only to understand "archaic" and "traditional" religious
phenomena, but also to make sense of repressed and sublimated myth
dimensions in modern secular life.
