I was having trouble analyzing British poetry in English senior year, but I picked up an illusion here and there to what little I knew of Greek and Roman mythology. So I got myself a used copy of this book, and I was amazed at how mythology is the key to understanding so much literature! I fell in love. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

I enjoyed reading this tremendously. It connected many dots for me of classical readings I have done from Dante to Tolkien, and in many less famous readings as well.
I am going through my hardcover full editions and reading the bits which were missing from the abridgement. I probably won't keep the paperback, since I have the full editions, but I would recommend it to anyone who wanted a reference and didn't want to take up so much room on their shelves. ( )
