- Synopsis
- This study analyzes and compares mythologies from different cultures, arguing for myth as an expression of the universality of human experience, without ignoring the distinctive elements of each cultural source. In doing so, Doniger (U. of Chicago, religion) seeks to rescue comparative mythology from its postcolonial and postmodern critics and their charges of irrelevance and/or political incorrectness. In addition to historical myths, Doniger also considers classical literature and popular culture as repositories of myth. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc. , Portland, Or.
