Features: This collection of Western mythology theory was originally published in 1994 by Shanghai People's Art Publishing House under the title "Selected Papers on Western Mythology." The English original was compiled by the renowned American folklorist, Professor Alan Dundes, and includes classic essays on mythology research from various fields and countries, offering classical scholars' interpretations of ancient myths. Re-translating and publishing these carefully selected papers by Professor Dundes—classic theoretical literature praised and frequently cited by folklorists worldwide—serves both as a sustained and open source of important academic thoughts from foreign scholars in the field of mythology and as a systematic reference framework for serious reflection and proactive engagement in domestic mythology theoretical research and the academic consideration of folk narratives.
