The Golden Age Of Myth & Legend

Thomas Bulfinch 1993 Paperback

“…The timeless stories of the gods and goddesses of Greece, Rome and Northern mythology are brought to life and throughout the book Bulfinch shows, by extensive and resonant quotation how these images have enormously enriched the development of English literature, from Bryon to Shakespeare, from Keats and Milton to Wordsworth and Tennyson.

In addition, there is a chapter on Eastern religion and myth, together with maps of the ancient world, a list of proverbial expressions, a 24-page glossary and index, and an index to the poetical quotations.
