    "Boccaccio's Naked Muse examines a writer who cast himself as the apostle of a new humanistic faith, one that would honour God by exalting his creation. In this study, Tobias Foster Gittes argues that Boccaccio did not simply reproduce Golden Age schemes in his works, but rather subtly altered and adapted them to produce a model of human beatitude more suited to his conviction that cultural achievement and human dignity are indissolubly linked."--Jacket 1. Universal Myths of Origin: Boccaccio and the Golden Age Motif -- 2. Local Myths of Origin: The Birth of the City and the Self -- 3. Myth of a New Beginning: Boccaccio's Palingenetic Paradise -- 4. Myth of Historical Foresight: Babel and Beyond.

    "Beatrice Bime has displayed creativity in story-telling through a narrative technique which tends to be a mixture of the subjective and the objective as well as the inclusion of a whole lot of experiences that are both contemporary and seemingly far removed from myth."--Bole Butake, Professor of African Literature, Yaounde University 1, Cameroon In Cameroon and Africa, lakes are sacred and often secret places. They fascinate curiosity and have often served as repositories of local histories, memories and dreams. In Mystique, Bime offers the reader a rich and seductive menu of reflection on the significance of legends and myths on and around lakes in Cameroon, Ghana, Benin and Tanzania. She tells her stories with the talent and elegance of a writer who does not only have an ear for what others tell her but who also has the ability to transform what she hears into something uniquely hers and truly universal. Mystique is a must-read and an opportunity for progeny to keep alive a tested and cherished heritage of story-telling. This is truly innovative and culturally relevant entertainment that invites the reader to unchain her spirit to explore. --Book Jacket Machine generated contents note:ch.

The use of myth in Modernist literature is a misleadingly familiar theme. Joyce's appropriation of Homer's Odyssey and Eliot's of Frazer's Golden Bough are, like Lawrence's primitivism or Yeats's nationalist folklore, attempts to discover an underlying metaphysic in an increasingly fragmented world. In Literature, Modernism and Myth Michael Bell also examines the relationship of myth and modernism to postmodernism. Myth, Bell shows, is inherently flexible; it was used to justify Pound's totalizing vision of society which eventually descended into fascism, and the liberal, ironic vision of human existence Joyce and Mann expressed. Those theorists who present myth as another form of mystification, a search for false origins, ignore its use by modernists to emphasise the ultimate contingency of all values. This anti-foundational element, Bell claims, enables myth to act as a corrective to the claims of ideological critique. Bell shows how postmodern concerns with political and social responsibility, and the role literature plays in formulating this, have in fact been inherited from modernism

Die Beiträge zu diesem Band untersuchen kulturspezifische Mythen in Britannien und im deutschsprachigen Raum, vergleichen mythentheoretische Ansätze sowie literarische und ästhetisch-politische Wirkungsweisen mythologischer Formationen – schwerpunktmässig seit 1800. Sie fragen nach den Folgen mythenorientierter Diskurse für das wechselseitige Verstehen dieser beiden Kulturen und leisten damit einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur Vertiefung der interkulturellen Forschung
