Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Laurence Coupe offers students a crucial overview of the evolution of 'myth', from the ancient Greek definitions to those of a range of contemporary thinkers. This introductory volume:

explores the uses made of the term 'myth' within the fields of literary criticism, anthropology, cultural studies, feminism, Marxism and psychoanalysis
discusses the association between modernism, postmodernism, myth and history
familiarises the reader with themes such as the dying god, the quest for the grail, the relation between 'chaos' and 'cosmos', and the vision of the end of time
illustrates the relation between myth, culture and literature with discussions of poetry, fiction, film and popular song.
