Description: "Myth: A New Symposium offers a broad-based assessment of the present state of myth study. It is inspired by a revisiting of the influential mid-twentieth-century work Myth: A Symposium (edited by Thomas Sebeok). A systematic introduction and fifteen contributions from a wide spectrum of disciplines offer a range of views on past myth study as well as directions for the future.

Contributors blend theoretical analysis with richly documented historical, ethnographic, and literary illustrations and examples drawn from a range of sources, including Native American, classical, medieval, and modern."--BOOK JACKET.
