Theories of Myth, a companion to the author's World Mythology: An
Annotated Guide to Collections and Anthologies (Scarecrow Press and
Salem Press, 1996), has been written to serve the needs of college
undergraduates, high school students, and general readers
approaching the study of myth for the first time. Whereas the
earlier volume describes the plethora of anthologies, collections,
and general introductions to myth from around the world, Theories
of Myth lists the most important English-language studies of myth
theory, which attempt to answer the questions: What is "myth?" How
does it function in human society, and how is it to be interpreted?
Here the reader will find the most significant theoretical studies
of traditional stories, legends, tales and sagas from around the
world, which attempt to address such questions from a variety of
perspectives. Includes an author/editor index and a subject index.
