Explore the Roots of Myth and Literature with Meletinsky’s Masterwork
Dive into the second volume of Eleazar Meletinsky’s seminal study, The Poetics of Myth—a work that earned the Soviet scholar global recognition. This volume offers a rigorous exploration of myth as a wellspring of artistic imagery, examining its structure, mythological thinking, and the evolution of scholarly interpretations across different schools.
Meletinsky traces how myth “comes alive” in culture, folklore, and 20th-century literature, where writers consciously draw on mythic models and symbols. He analyzes the connection between ancient myths and modernist mythologism, revealing how mythological thinking transforms in literary language. This volume includes two major sections: “Classical Forms of Myth and Their Reflection in Narrative Folklore” and “Mythologism in 20th-Century Literature.”
Perfect for readers interested in culture, history, philosophy, and psychology, this is a classic that every researcher of culture and literature should explore. Price: 1179.00 RUR.
