Description
Translating Myth explores how myths are taken and carried over into new languages, cultures, and media. A diverse group of scholars presents case studies that examine the artistic and political implications of myth's changing condition.
This collection addresses the transfer of myth across cultures and epochs, treating 'translation' broadly to encompass not only literary translation but also the adaptation of myths in different contexts. In an age where the spiritual world is in crisis, Translating Myth offers a timely exploration of myth's endurance as a discipline.
