Myth & Knowing: An Introduction to World Mythology

This item is part of our R I T U A L Resale program and has been gently loved by someone! A portion of proceeds from this item will be donated to Rose Haven Day Shelter. Myth and Knowing is by far the most comprehensive world mythology textbook. The text/reader format provides both jargon-free discussions of current themes and thinkers in the ongoing scholarly conversation about myth and a broad selection of complete myths chosen for literary merit and the cultural sensitivity of their translations. Rather than being genre-driven, the book emphasizes the psychological, religious, and cultural meanings of myth, presenting these with the intent of fostering in students a love of literature.
