An antiquarian book for an antiquarian subject
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is a contemporary reprinting of a classic text called "Manual of Mythology" dating from 1874 (which the previous reviewer would have known if he would have done HIS research). Scholarship has of course advanced in 130 years, as have the presumptions of moderns in regards to the beliefs of the ancients. In other words, I wouldn't use this as a definitive resource for a term paper, but it has other value. Consider this more a view of how the 19th century saw these myths, complete with an authentic typesetting and wonderful 19th cent. engravings mainly based on classical sculpture. Enjoy the feel of the classic myths evoked through Victorian writing and images, and put it on your shelf next to Frazer's Golden Bough.
