Sacred Narrative synopsis

Alan Dunedis defines myth as a sacred story that explains how the world and humanity have become in their present form. This new volume combines classic statements about the theory of mythology by authors such as William Bascom, Jean de Vries, Jesse Kirk, Fraser, Theodore Gaster, Mircea Eliad, Bronislav Malinowski, CG Jong, and Claude Levy Strauss.

Instead of limiting this collection to Roman and classical Greek legends, Dondes gives the book a universal scope. The twenty-two essays by leading experts in myth represent comparative functional styles, myth-rituals, jungles, and Freudian, and structural approaches to study this genre..
