Doty (humanities and religious studies, U. of Alabama) focuses not on materials from antiquity, but on modern approaches to myths and rituals in the major schools of interpretation. Rewritten and restructured, this new edition (first, 1986) has expanded coverage of postmodern and post-structuralist perspectives, mythic iconography, neo-Jungian approaches, and cultural studies, and also includes a summary of new approaches to Greek myth, French classical scholarship, and ritual studies. Other features include a glossary, an up-to-date annotated bibliography, and a guide to myth on the Internet. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
