First published in 1976, this book provides a helpful introduction
to the study of myth as a concept and its relationship to
literature. It examines historically some of the leading theories
concerning the nature and origins of myth and, with reference to a
wide variety of texts, illustrates the relevance of these theories
to literature. It also considers the different ways in which myths
have been perceived over time, both positive and negative, and the
effect this has had on the production of new mythologies. It
concludes with an assessment if the problems created by the
presence of myth in literature and its use as a tool of literary
criticism.
