American writers from Emerson to Melville were very well read in myth and in mythic theory and were highly conscious of myth as a subject of special interest to the age. Richardson shows how our major writers consciously understood and used myth. -Jacket flap. Contents: ch. 1. The two traditions--ch. 2.
