English Mythography in its European Context, 1500-1650

Bok av Anna-Maria Hartmann
Mythographies-texts that collected and explained ancient myths-were indispensable tools of literary engagement during the European Renaissance. This volume focuses on neglected English mythographies written between 1577 and 1647, revealing a unique English take on the genre and unfolding the significant role myth played in broader culture.
