This original, provocative study, first published in 1973, presents
a new method of interpretation of mythology, and reveals the
wide-ranging implications of this universal phenomenon for many
disciplines. The volume begins with a sympathetic but critical
examination of Levi-Strauss's interpretation of mythology.
Professor Munz points out the deficiencies in structuralist
interpretations, and takes Levi-Strauss's neglect of the
historicity of all myths as a starting-point for an alternative
approach to mythology. Myths, he argues, come in typological
series. If the whole series is read forward to the most specific
version, the myths will reveal their inherent meaning
typologically.
