Summary: Excellent
Comment: This book is a collection of essays on various theories and interpretive approaches to mythology. The editor, Alan Dundes, has compiled a broad range of studies that provide early approaches to theorizing myth-making and then moves into relatively recent approaches to myth. The essays are well-chosen, and they are linked together by Dundes' well-written introductions. Dundes is a fine folklorist, and his thorough grounding in the history of folklore study provides an excellent resource for placing the essays into a useful intellectual framework for learning about myth. Some of the essays are classics, and Dundes provides fair as well as critical appraisals of the various approaches used by the essayists. This compilation is essential for anyone interested in mythology as well as anyone interested in religious history and the social sciences.
